First things first.... why are there only 9 pictures in the main photo for this pattern? The one in the top left has 2 of the designs in it, and i couldn't fit anymore in my collage software, sooooooo the second picture here shows the remaining designs to make up the 16 :)
Ok, on to the pattern itself!
“Hippie Dippy” has been a huge challenge, and huge joy, to paint! This little wooden bus sat on my shelves for over a year and a half before I started painting it. I finally got it started in September of 2022, but it got set aside yet again while I painted ornaments for the holidays. Since picking back up since Christmas, I have been thrilled with the progress and had so much fun painting it on my lives. (Be sure to keep an eye on YouTube, the recordings of the lives where I painted it will be posted there soon!). There are 16 different cool designs and elements in this piece, and I walk you through all of them so that you’ll feel comfortable painting them on ANY surface!
This is a digital download. After purchase, you will receive an email with the PDF pattern attached to download.
