YOKOSO

So as you can see I made a few changes around here and redesigned my blog a bit.

I wanted to lighten it up for the longest time but couldn’t figure this template out. It was so much different than my other one. I learned that sometimes jumping in, blind, is the best way for me to learn because then I’m not tempted to compare it to anything else.

So what do you think of it?

How’d I do it?

Well I thought about drawing up a sketch, like I’ve done before, but yesterday I felt more like recycling.

I reused the photograph (that I snapped while geocaching last month – photo attached to this post) I had up there before. I used the flower from it and added some different colors, patterns, overlay, shapes, and a very thin stroke around it all.

My goal was to incorporate the background lace design into my header somehow and I think that turned out beautifully but…

I still don’t see it as finished yet. Because well my personality type never sees things complete. There is always something that could use improving. I see possibilities as we speak, but I’m too tired to play with it now so I’ll take a break for awhile and let those of you that have the ‘don’t like change’ personality to rest in knowing that it ‘probably’ will not be changed for awhile. So you can breathe a sigh of relief about that!!

p.s. Today I woke up with a nasty ‘brain bleeding’ migraine. ‘brain bleeding’ because that’s how they feel to me. when I have a migraine I always imagine that my brain is dehydrated, so dried out that it bleeds and causes the pain. So this visualization motivates me to drink lots of water. I however get so wrapped up with artistic creative excitement sometimes that I get SO distracted that I forget to drink and then I look over after writing a rather shorter post on my blog to be reminded of the water and Green Tea Vitamin Water I have sitting on my desk beside me waiting to be drank while they’re still ‘sort of’ cold. And THIS, seeing them there, motivates me to stop writing and drink em. *drinking now* ok maybe not, but I will, as soon as you stop reading *smile*
