It was pretty unsettling, the thought of doing a video…a one HOUR video. I was asked to teach and paint one of my designs. You know, talk and paint at the same time? Everyone knows that requires both sides of your brain!
So, I prepped, I planned, I made lists. I even had my nails manicured :-)
The big day came, and I scrunched into the spot where I needed to sit to be videoed. Yes, it was unsettling. Of course it could only go one hour, so I had to watch the timer too. However, I proceeded and succeeded!
The e-magazine Interactive Artist Magazine published the article June 1. After watching it, I didn’t feel overly humiliated, but isn’t it weird to see yourself as others see you? From inside me, it doesn’t seem like me…but I guess that is normal.
The design I taught was on a canvas cover for a full size iPad. Very useful, very bright and cheery, easy to find where you laid it. My old iPad cover had finally bit the dust, so I found the canvas one and painted it. My good friend Carolyn Ballantine insisted that I needed to share it with the world. And…ta da…now I have.
Here it is:
It has a very handy inside pocket for, you know, paper. This will give me an excuse to show you the inside which features my #1 Great Granddaughter.
How does one decide what to put on an iPad cover?
For me, I wanted it to be bright (and noticeable). I love
to paint roses, but decided it would be a
different style. Of course it needed to have scrolls. And birds, and bees, and well, it just developed. That’s wonderful when it happens!
