I wanted to make either a small box or envelope to house the little 3x3 abstract art pieces I made last week. Sometimes the wrapping takes longer to figure out and make than the artwork!
After several tries using scrap paper, I decided on what would work best.

I had knee replacement surgery on September 22. Four rounds of daily knee exercises takes up a lot of time, but I do it because I know I will heal faster. I can think of other ways to a have a good time, however.
I got so sick and tired of sitting in a chair, I knew I had to get into the studio and work on something small - something that I could sit down to do - something I could work on for an hour or so and come back to again later.
These mixed media 3" squares are done on 140# watercolor paper - it was fun to do. I have a number of 4" round glass top tins which will house some of these little gems and be presented to friends as a thank you for helping me out so much while I'm stuck indoors.
