I've ALWAYS admired quilts and people that can work magic with fabric and a sewing machine. I simply don't have the patience for it. I recently visited my Aunt who has terminal cancer and she's also an avid and extremely talented quilter! She's been on my mind since we came home, and I've been working on this as I think of her -- while my points on paper aren't as perfect as her points on fabric -- I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out so far. #cancersucks #ihatecancer #catherinescanlon #catherinescanlondesigns #quiltingonpaper #quiltinglove #watercolor #watercolorink #watercolorquilt

Do you remember the first time you created something that lit your heart on fire? That gave you a purpose, a direction, a reason to do what makes your heart happy? I do. I was laying on the couch, sick with the flu playing with drawing some things to fight the boredom of lying down. I drew this thing, this beautiful paisley pattern that filled the paper. I couldn't stop looking at it and loving my work -- I think it might have been the VERY first time I looked at my lines and realized they were good and I have not stopped drawing and inking pages upon pages -- sketchbook after sketchbook -- notebooks and anything I find handy to write on. What was your moment? #catherinescanlon #catherinescanlondesigns #breareese #breareeseglitterink #breareesewatercolor #illustration #rememberwhyyoustarted #rememberwhy

The Iris is done and I love it. The piece on the left I've been working, reworking and adding details here and there for a few weeks now -- I'm finally gonna give up on it and say it's not so great but it's as finished as I'm going to get it. You win some you lose some -- but in the end I tried and that's really almost care about. #catherinescanlon #catherinescanlondesigns #flowers #waterbrush #watercolor #watercolorink #watercolorflower #flowersofinstagram

All paintings go through an ugly stage, a place where I'm really unhappy about how it looks. This one is there, right now. The trick is not to give up but to continue because they usually become beautiful at one point. Also, using a permanent ink for the background once the light pink was completely dry so there wouldn't be any black blooms or dark spits on my clematis. #catherinescanlondesigns #catherinescanlon #flowersofinstagram #waterbrush #watercolor #Higginsblackmagic #watercolorink #watercolorflower #strathmoreart @strathmoreart

OMG -- I had my reservations about what this would taste like -- but it is delicious! I made some modifications to the #paleoperfected #sweetpotatohummus recipe -- like the way I cooked the potato and not using the sesame seeds -- I also added calamata olives and used avocado oil -- but this is so so so good. And, my cucumber is still hot from the sun! @testkitchen thanks for a super great book!
