A good opportunity to get some of the scraps from my desk rehomed!!!

It’s December already!

1. Theme: this & that. Technique: painty papers & paper beads. Prompt: bead bobble bookmarks 

In an effort to use up stuff and stash....I’ve got a pocket made from some star textured paper (10 years +) a painty playing card that I received that has insects on it and this just happened to be some stamps I was planning to ink.... a scrap of Urdu bible page to cover a clothing tag, some ink ( not a big paint user!) an eyelet, some perlé thread and some painted Tyvek beads that were wrapped, heat treated & wrapped with threads on a course many moons ago! I’m not saying that I have my stash under control by any means but it’s a great feeling to use stuff that has been looking for a purpose for a long time lol.

Have a good weekend everyone....I’m off to work on Christmas cards!

This week we had to start with a black background (acrylic on copy paper) stencil white acrylic onto the black & then, once dry add 2 analogous colours on top...

I had a play then tried using navy paper & white gesso with the same 2 colours that I used on the black.

Then I added some gel pen: copper on the black & white on the navy.....all in all a fun play!

Catching up with my art....
