Day 68: (thurs 3/9) another sunflower

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , 2 Comments

Attempt two, without the tutorial. This one is specifically for a swap. I have these three keen little “machines”, the Xyron 510, the Xyron Creative Station, and a small Xyron 1.5 inch sticker maker… they can hold different cartridges (I think the littlest one only makes stickers)… to make magnets, permeant or removable stickers, and laminate items. The large one currently makes stickers, the medium 510 laminates. They take only a few seconds to work and are some of my favorite tools. So I ran this painting through the laminator and now have a handpainted bookmark ready to go! (Now I’m wondering if I let it dry long enough before I laminated it)

Day 67: (wed 3/8) Debbie’s birthday

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , 1 Comment

Because, in typical fashion, I did not get a card out to my sister for her birthday, I chose one of her favorite themes for today. Here’s what it could have looked like, Debbie. Happy birthday!

To be honest, I didn’t understand really where we were going with this tutorial until it was too late, but I learned some interesting techniques and a much looser watercolor method, using layers, lots of water, and negative space. (there were so many layers here!) I hope to try this one again, either the same thing or a similar image. I like it, but I can do better, especially now that I know where it was going. I think.
