What I’ve Been Doing…

Last week, inspired to play…I got out some watercolor ATC cards and began to re-create some of my doodles from the past year with ink and then to color them with gouache watercolors.  I had sketches of apples falling into a bucket or a basket, bird families on an outing and even some on a “picnic”.  My mood and aim is playful, whimsical, something I don’t usually engage in in my fiber work.  I think I will reserve that for my watercolor sketches.

I  “edited” some of the ATC’s from the last post.  Then I took the plunge (gulp) and made some in black and white photos to see what would happen with them.  I’m VERY pleased with the black and white.  The wax has a honey color that adds a vintage patina look to the card…I think it’s quite wonderful.
