Zentangle

I used a dylusions stamp for the face, then Zentangled hair around the face.

Paper Bead Necklace

I made myself a new paper bead necklace. I made the paper beads with designer paper & cereal boxes. I used 20 paper beads & 21 seed beads. I purchased the heart pendent, and put a small key inside the heart and filled the heart with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. This was a Fun necklace to make & it is going to be a fun necklace to wear.

Do you like my new frame?

I painted this watercolor rooster in June. It was a 9 x 12 painting, so I put it in an 11 x 14 frame. Yesterday I was shopping at Wal Mart in the craft department, and saw this 8 x 10 frame with chicken wire in it. I thought this frame would be perfect for my rooster painting. So I cut the painting down & reframed it. What do you think? Better with the new frame?

Watercolor Butterfly on a Zinnia

Watercolor
Butterfly on a Zinnia
I only used 3 watercolors for this painting.
Colors red, yellow, & blue.
I mixed blue & yellow to get the green.
I mixed Yellow & red to get the orange.
I mixed yellow, red, & blue to get the black.
I used Gesso for the white on the Butterfly.
The most difficult color to mix was the black. I would get a muddy brown, then a dark green, & even a deep purple before finally getting the right mix of the 3 colors to make the black.
I used red, yellow, & blue for the background, then salted the background, to get the look that I wanted for the background.
