My birthday challenge • #30paintedpouches 650 447 Atop Serenity Hill

Today, April 1, is my birthday. In celebration of turning 46, I decided to do a challenge for the month that would offer me the chance to paint everyday, get better at sewing and finally get my Etsy shop some stock!

A birthday challenge: zippered painted pouches • AtopSerenityHill.com #mixedmedia #30paintedpouches #zipperedpouchesEach day during April, I’m going to spend 23 minutes painting a 8″x12″ piece of canvas. The designs will be mostly abstract in nature but who knows what will happen as the month progresses. That’s the fun part!

So, 23 minutes of painting + a $23 price tag = my 46 birthday celebration!

All of the painted pouches will go on sale at the beginning of May and I’ll have more details about that in my update. PS…the price does not include shipping and I will ship outside the US.

I thought you might like to see me create one of the sample canvases, so I did a fast forward video for you to check out. Enjoy and don’t forget to follow along on my social media channels!

I link up at these parties!
