Posted on February 11, 2025 by Mama Cormier

Here are the complete pieces.

Inchies for Hand Painted Papers

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…inchies are 2” x 2” squares of watercolour paper

Amy Maricle turned me onto Inchies several years ago. She has several online classes that you can purchase and she frequently offers free workshops. She’s also written a book called Draw Yourself Calm https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/707819/draw-yourself-calm-by-amy-maricle/9780593541012

The Inchies on my new art page were created today (day 26) and are layered over art papers that I created a while ago.

I Dislike Licorice but I Love Allsorts

Posted on February 8, 2025 by Mama Cormier

What’s your favorite candy?

I don’t know if ‘dislike’ is strong enough to describe how much I don’t like licorice. My mother loved black licorice and I have a friend who adores the strongest and saltiest licorice she can find. When I travelled to Amsterdam she wanted me to bring back licorice for her.

Strangely though I really like licorice Allsorts. How is that possible? Between all the layers of colourful sweetness lies black licorice.

Candy is never at the top of my list of favourite foods. I can take it or leave it but if you put Licorice Allsorts in front of me I will always take it.
