new supplies make me all dizzy

Yesterday a big parcel of pretty art supplies arrived.  I have been waiting on these babies, watching the tracking, and couldn't wait till they arrived.

 

Of course they turned up just when I was heading out the door for a few hours, isn't that always the way???

I placed then on the table unopened and headed out the door.  I even fed the kids dinner before I opened them.  It took a whole heap of restraint.

Finally the kids were fed, washed and into their Jammies.  With glass of wine in hand I opened the box.

Oh my!!  what pretty colours.  Inside were pan pastels, inktense blocks and gelatos.  All supplies I had never used before. So much fun!

Time to play in my art journal!! I started with the pan pastels and I was not disappointed with the richness of colour, the ability to layer and how easy they were to use.

 

 

I simply added some india ink and that was it.  Such a fun night learning new things!

Can't wait to open the rest of the supplies now.

Hi Lisa! I am new to your blog. I found you via a piece of your art that was on Pinterest.

I really like your style and I am looking forward to checking out more of your work.

I can COMPLETELY relate to this post! I cannot stand to wait for new supplies to come in the mail :-) New art goodies are the best!
