Every year at SK2, we look forward to participating in Warm a Heart, a charity event for different causes yearly that calls upon local designers to create gifts for people in need. This year, COVID-19 changed our usual expectations for our yearly crafting event! Due to the pandemic, Warm a Heart requested participants to decorate and write cards for Denver Health’s staff, patients, and families.
For our decorating theme, we decided to focus on landscapes, plants, and national parks. Kevin used his skills in watercolor painting to paint beautiful vistas of the mountains, trees, and flowers inspired by a ranch that he used to work on in New Mexico. Geneva also used watercolor to paint potted plants with different varieties and color themes. Kasey decided to use stitching with black thread to show popular natural icons from national parks. These cards are meant to inspire a sense of adventure and an appreciation for the outdoors during the challenges of being stuck inside due to COVID-19. We cant wait to participate again next year!
