Short Viedo or Tip Suggestions

What to do? I need some help with this subject.
What would make a useful tutorial? I am a bit lost as where to start... Help 

I have been painting for sometime and some of my best trick and tips comes from not knowing what to do next or having to get creative about streamlining my process. 

Funny, I am answering my own call for help. But I really want to know what everyone else thinks. I know my thinker is a bit backwards, all of the time.

What seems most exciting to learn about?

1. Cool fades on flags the easy way
2. More ways to do fades with burning colors together
3. My way of fixing the colors to silk with steam
4. Run through of my current projects in action
5. The best way to trace designs in bed

Any requests or ideas?

Go Forth and Be

One day I was reading a blog (I wish I could remember where I got this from... note to self, get new brain and other parts) Near the end she said "go forth and be awesome" I loved it. Just spoke to me and so I spent a little time making a contribution to the cause. I know its not much but its a start, if we all could just go forth and be in the moment awesome will fallow in unexpected moments.

Is it retro or something else?

Working on a new design today, I think I am feeling a little on the retro side. The first flag is my original design and from there I used some other color combinations. Which color do you like best?
My vote is for the original but the others are pretty good too.

Ready to Paint Shades?

It's taken about a week but I have my designs ready to paint for my new class "Hand Painted Shades Easy Polysilk Painting" with 5 flags designs and a bonus! Super excited to share this, I think we will start to see more guards this year with there very own hand painted flags. 

Design a Band Color Guard Show Theme Board

I really love the simple lines and complex structor of this Color Guard Flag, with each box being in its own space. This is one visual effect that can be done with hand painted flags.

This flag design was inspired by aspen tree shapes, it's subtle cracks and snaps of her twigs. The individually hand painted box for each flag is something thats been an image in my head for a long time but getting the concept to translate into something that everyone else can see and understand was hard to do with out a photo. So, here we are introducing my first design board!

What shall we call the theme? I have a few ideas in mind but I want to hear yours. Post and let me know your great ideas.
