WATERCOLOR PLAY, et al

 

I got this lovely set of 

Sennelier Watercolors 

for Christmas...;)))

I decided to give them a 

bit of a play...

I find water coloring very intimidating.

But.....

After watching "K3N Cloth Tales" on

Youtube last night give a 

tutorial on this process

I decided to

give it a try to see how

it goes...

First, I collaged scrappy bits 

all over my

inexpensive Mixed Media paper 

I just used glue stick and tore up papers from my 

collage fodder folder:

torn pieces of brown paper, 

coffee dyed papers crinkled up, 

a picture of one of my stitcheries I copied,

and some torn tissue paper bits

along with scrapbook paper orts.

Then I searched and found this magazine picture 

of a woman looking out into the future.

I thought :

she is looking at the "unknown"

which lies ahead of her...

and, reflects my state of mind

these days.....

I left this to dry thoroughly

overnight...

Then....

I wet up some Payne's Grey and

Rose Madder--two of my

favorite colors...

and proceeded to just blob them

all over my collage --

except for her image.

The result is a subtle, slight change...

which I really love.

It integrates her into the background

a bit more I feel...

💟💜

I will let this dry overnight and

then proceed to add some 

"mark making"

over the surface...

What a fun and easy way to tip toe

into using watercolors...

👀Have a looksee

 at Katharine's 

"Cloth Tales" Youtube channel for

all sorts of lovely tutorials...

in both paper and fabric...👀

*******************************

This morning we ran a lot of errands and

stopped into the Waterford "Shack" 

restaurant for a late breakfast

(brunch really).... 

I had the "Classic": 

2 eggs (over med), toast,

home fries, and bacon-- 

(I won't have to eat the rest of the day!!)

Yikes!! I haven't eaten like that

in ages--what a treat;)))

And Tom had his beloved Hash special

which included all my items plus hash...

Wholley-Molley!!

😉😋

**********************************

Now I feel I need a nap...

What a luxury to be able to nap

in the afternoon...or whenever!!
