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!!
