Two new skinnies. The backgrounds are watercolor paper that I put a thin wash of watercolor on then covered with Saran Wrap all crinkled up and let dry. I really didn't like the way they turned out, all pale. The purple was a mistake that was impossible to cover with watercolors. I just set that sheet aside and went on to some others.
Today I came back to the sheet of watercolor paper and just tore it in half. It had possibilities once it was not so large. I decided to make some skinnies and some moo's. I stamped the backgrounds with dye ink and just let everything flow from there. Sometimes mistakes can be salvaged. There is always the other side of the paper.
Your skinnies are awesome, Elizabeth! Beautifully created.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth -- you are so right about mistakes working out -- I LOVE the backgrounds you created, and of course your images, layout -- oh it all just comes together wonderfully! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful skinnies and the moos you made with the same paper are terrific. I like the backgrounds including the one with purple.
ReplyDeleteThose backgrounds are perfect, interesting in and of themselves yet not distracting from your focal point! No one would ever know they were not what you originally intended. Great work.

Oh Elizabeth, these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLike how you placed the red butterfly :)
Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes, you would not believe what I've done with some mistakes. I learned a long time ago -- never throw anything away. You can always paint over it or decorate it or.....
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
Elizabeth - thankfully I have just discovered your blog through the Soul Journal forum. I absolutely love your artwork, free images, recipes, ideas and so on....
