D: Drawing

Have you ever wanted to design YOUR OWN washi tape?

It doesn't have to be complicated!

I've put together a set of Procreate stamps with folk art elements that will enable you to create cute washi tapes, like these 👇, in minutes!

I am giving them away as part of a lesson I'll be teaching at the Sticker Makers Summit on September 23 - 25th.

Best part is that it's free to attend!

R: Resource

The "Sticker Maker Summit" is a value-packed resource for sparking creativity and making stuff with your art!

In addition to my Procreate class, there will be 11 other incredible speakers, including... Bonnie Christine, Jen Swift, and Mim Jenkinson.

They will be teaching fun techniques from 3D layered stickers to turning sketches into repeat patterns 😍.

I am SUPER excited to share this event with you.

A: Affirmation

This year has been really tough... and amazing at the same time.

I didn't know the meaning of "anxiety" until this year 😂.

At the same time, I've had some truly meaningful experiences with friends that filled my soul ❤️.

Especially, our recent trip to the beach.

As I stood there... feet in the sand... watching the children play, laugh, run around... I felt that life is good and beautiful.

I told myself, "Remember this moment".

A moment of presence and awareness.

Like taking a photo that you can reference later. But not as an image. Rather, as an experience.

And then it happened again, this week! Not nearly as profound as a beach holiday though 😆.

We were at a shopping mall with the children.

We decided to get some bubble tea 🧋 and sat on the bench together, drinking boba and watching people go up and down the escalators.

Again I found myself thinking, "Remember this moment".

Turns out, these special moments happen all the time. My work is to pause and notice them ☺️.

So here is this week's affirmation:

W: Wonder

This week's question is inspired by James Clear, who said:

"There's a difference between feeling tired and feeling empty. One probably needs sleep. The other may need purpose."

So here is a question to wonder about:

Have a beautiful week! 🤗

With love,
Tatyana

PS: I will be teaching a Procreate lesson on how to create Procreate stamps and design your own washi tape with them at the Sticker Maker Summit at the end of September.
