#The100DayProject2022: Days 71-80

 I've been feverishly working on a large painting for a friend's cafe.  She asked for a forest scene and that was why I signed up for Alisa Burke's class a couple of weeks ago.  Many of my cards are a product of her class, but then I felt overloaded with green and foresty things (the 4'x6'painting is done - just needs to be sealed - yay!) and veered away from that theme towards the end of this batch of cards.  May 1st (Day 77) also was the beginning of a new gel printing challenge; I love me some gel printing...

#the100DayProject2022: Days 61-70

 It seems that I keep finding classes/workshops to nudge The Muse.  Last weekend I signed up for Alisa Burke's "Woodland Whimsy" class.  Towards the end of this series (and, I'm sure, the beginning of the next series) I was inspired by the wonders of the forest for my 100 Day cards.
