Boyfriend is going camping for a few days with some of his brothers. He’s been running errands and buying some cold weather gear for the trip.

He also baked an apple pie for me. 🥧 🥰

I adored advent calendars, and this one is really impressive. Each box is a little wooden jigsaw puzzle! 🧩 🖼️

I’m really looking forward to doing one of these each day in December. Now to clear a dedicated horizontal space for them. 😁

It’s here!!! Puzzle I mage is lighter and less saturated than the original artwork, but all the lovely layers of mixed media detail can still be seen. 😍

I choose the “garden” template, so the whimsy pieces on the left are all garden-related things.

I definitely recommend Wentworth if you want a high-end custom wooden puzzle. 👍👍

Happy Friday!

Done!!!! I’m soooo happy how this mixed media piece turned out. 😍

Lots of person stuff in the layers related to my mom:

• her garden notes on the siding
• crossword puzzle in the black area of the door
• blueprints of her house in the door frame
• quilt pattern on the table
• a copy of her gecko sketch with my colors
• based on a photo I took of her flowers on her patio

Now to tweak the colors a bit in Photoshop and send it off to Wentworth to have custom jigsaw puzzle made.

Current state of the art board. Once this layer dries, I’ll work on the door frame and glass, which will just be a darkish gray to provide contrast with the flowers.

Second image is a close up to show the texture the Faber-Castell gelatos can provide if you don’t brush water over them. —— This is a series of notes for my art project of using a reference photo of Mom’s flowers as the basis for a mixed media artwork that will be used to create a wooden jigsaw puzzle with garden whimsy pieces. Ideally in time for Mother’s Day. 🤞💐
