A New Logo!

I recently completed Monica Lee's e-course called Smart Creative Style.  Oh my goodness!  My head is spinning with information and inspiration!

First off, I decided to refresh my logo.  Being a swirly girl, I have always loved this one, so I decided not to go too far afield.  Also, I didn't want to rely on a particular font to define the character of my logo.  (I wanted it to say, "Krista Hamrick" and not Papyrus or Comic Sans!)  It was a bit of a search to find the right font to counterpoint my hand-drawn letters, but I found it!

The next step was to consider altering the color.  I have found that the grayed purple/ indigo worked well on my portfolio pages, but I am confident that the new, fresher turquoise blends with my color palette and will complement my art as well.

Rejoice Always

I have been decorating the chalkboards at my church for about a year and a half.  I go in on Saturday mornings when it is blissfully quiet, and usually the only person I see is my friend who unlocks the door.

Today there was a lot of activity in the building and a little girl that I had never met before said, "Oh, are you the one who does the chalkboards?"  When I said yes, she gushed, "We love it when you draw because you're so nice!"

Be still my heart.  That means everything to me. 

Diet? What Diet??

Need a chocolate fix?  There's a little chocolate delirium going on over at They Draw and Cook this week.  Oh my!

Really??

What is the digital equivalent of spilling your coffee all over your painting?
Forgetting to save.  All day.  

It's Officially the Last Minute

Need just one more gift for that special someone who has everything?  Quick-- get out your embroidery machine and whip this up!  Even persnickety giftees are sure to love it!!

Merry Christmas!

A New Start
