Day 30 – #amonthinpaper. Looking back at my early pieces, my lines were a little wonky, I used straight pins for everything (man it stretched the process out forever…), and my photo skills were severely lacking. I had a major learning curve and from practicing and experimenting, I’ve found better ways to do everything. I learned a lot from trial and error. I guess you can say I’ve come a long way babe….💗 #practicemakesperfect #artprocess #learningcurve #amonthinpaperday30 #paperartistcollective #workinprogress #motivation #quilling #paperart #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #madefrompaper #paperartist #wip #alwayslearning #paperquilling #paperartist #artwork #artlife #dailyart #dailygrind #lettering #typographyart #paperlettering

Day 29-#amonthinpaper The best part so far has been the journey – seeing my self progress in my creating, forming friendships along the way, my own personal growth, and just being blessed to be able to do this. #thankful #grateful #blessed #creating #evolving #selfworth #selfgrowth #personalgrowth #thebestpart #creatingfromtheheart #creatingmemories #creatingart #etsy #etsyfinds #paperart #amonthinpaperday29 #paperartistcollective #quillingfun #keeppushing

“Dare to Be When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free. #mandala #mandalaart #mandala_addict #mandala_sharing #mandalapassion #daretobe #digitalart #digital_art #digitaldesign #positivityquotes #lifequotes #bluemandala #applepencil #positivevibes #justbe #be #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdayvibes #instamood #instaart #instaquote

Day 28 of the #amonthinpaper challenge from @paperartistcollective . I can’t believe we’re coming to the end! Today’s prompt is support system. I’ve been blessed to have a large network of people who have supported me since day one. My family who puts up with tiny bits of paper and glitter everywhere and me saying, “Check out this one!” and all of you who are taking the time to read my posts and comment. Every time you do that, I am encouraged to keep honing in on my skills and growing as a creative. I look back and realize how much I’ve come and how far I want to go…. (but my goals are another days prompt! ☺️) So thank you and a huge shoutout to those of you who have said yay or nay and keep dropping by to see what I’m up to next! ☺️✂️🖌💐 Size- 8”x10” . . . . . . . . . #paperart #quilling #quillingfun #jenniferstacey #crossart #religiousart #quilledcross #paperquilling #paperflowers #floraldesign #wildpilotllc #madefrompaper #watercolorpainting #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyfind #religiousdecor #faith #thankfulgratefulblessed #paperartistcollective #amonthinpaperday28

Day 24 – Dream Collaboration/Project. I think my biggest aspiration is to work on a project with another local artist of another medium for an installation. Combining two mediums and styles to make something unique and uplifting. That would be pretty cool… #amonthinpaperday24 #paperart #paperflowers #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #quilled #quilling #quilledflowers #quilledcreations #artistsoninstagram #etsysellersofinstagram #etsywip #wip #fridayvibes #fridaymotivation #goals #artgoals #purpleflowers #purpleflower #weekendproject #paperartistcollective #paperartist #lgenpaper

Day 22- #amonthinpaper What I listen to while I work…. That’s not an easy one to answer. I’ve always been passionate about music and even taught music education and chorus for about 11 years until I moved to Florida. I love any kind of music, but here’s a list of some of my favorites… @lindseystirling @phantombway @postmalone @jimmybuffett @kennychesney @danandshay @ptxofficial @panicatthedisco @billieeilish @khalid @officialqueenmusic @official_flo @mandisaofficial @floridageorgialine @jjhellermusic . I know, I know, I’m all over the place. 🤣 Who are some of your favorites? (Turning back to an older piece I created…) #jenniferstacey #quillingfun #musicislife #musicilove #musicart #musiclover #musictime #paperart #trebleclefart #paperartistcollective #madefrompaper #quilling #mixedmediaart #mixedmedia

Day 20- Branding I’ve worked hard to create my brand. I created my logo from my own work and applied that to my business cards, stickers for frames, and have a stamp for all my packages. As for my style, I prefer simple designs with clean lines. I love creating custom art pieces. It can sometimes be challenging, but the satisfaction of creating something personal and unique that reflects a persons interests is worthwhile and so gratifying. #quilling #amonthinpaper #amonthinpaperday20 #branding #brand #quillingfun #paperart #inspiration #allmyown #beyourself #paperartistcollective #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsyartist #madefrompaper #paperlove

Finished painting this morning…. We have a lot of black bears that have visited us since we moved to Florida. So far, they just look at us and keep walking. But, we always have to keep a close eye out for when the mama bears are out with their cubs. I love the coloring of the flower with the pinks, reds, and yellow center. . . . . . . . . . #watercolorpainting #blackbear #watercolor #watercolorart #jenniferstacey #wildpilotllc #florals #watercolorflower #wip
