I colored the hearts on a separate sheet with oil pastels, then rubbed tissue paper over it.  The tissue picked up the color, then I fixed the tissue onto a new postcard with gel medium and added a few things here and there.  You can't tell it here, but it came out with an almost encaustic appearance.  Anyway, just an experiment.

On a roll ...

I was on a roll with the Glimmer Mists on these two ATC's ...

I used India ink and a bamboo "pen" to make these flowers.
I like working with ink - it can be so dramatic.

"Paper Towel Art"

Have you ever used a paper towel to clean up paint or other color mediums and found that the paper towel looked beautiful afterward?  These three ATC's were made with bits of paper towel that had of teal, purple and green Glimmer Mist on them!

Miscellaneous

For a swap - micro pen and colored pencil

For a Dia de las Muertos swap - done with pen - this was fun!

For MMSA's "black & metallic" swap, done just with a stamp and metallic gold acrylic paint.

Stamps - The Postage Kind

I created these ATC's for a "postage stamp" swap.  Maybe I was supposed to create a postage stamp - not sure - but I chose to incorporate a stamp into my art. 

Three simple little postcards I plan to swap.  Sometimes it's fun to just draw with a pen and add a little color.

I'm Back!

Trying to get back in the groove after a long and arduous house move.  Here are some postcards I did for the MMSA hot pink & orange swap, mostly in watercolor pencil.  Not my favorite color combination, so it was a stretch for me.

A short break ...

Art projects will be delayed while I move house - what a big job!  Hope to be creating again soon!

Purple & Green Swap

Two purple & green postcards for a swap at MMSA, both done with watercolors and micropen.

A collage for my first Three Muses challenge.  The prompt was, you guessed it, "Bon Voyage."
