I often hear people tell me in class that they are no artist.

I really have a hard time with that statement, because I think we are all artist in some way or another.

One of the little tricks that I use to help with my “art”, that I think is a very simple thing is to let tools help me where ever they can.

One of my favorite tools is a circle template.

I use these different size templates to help me get smooth and graceful lines. No one is perfect.

I went around all of the areas of the Jack in the Pulpit pattern to smooth out any edges that I thought were awkward. 

They now look so much better.

Good tools make good art.

Have a great art filled weekend.
