A Simpler Life
Pulled these out of the print tray
can't imagine using a hook to pull my laces and tie my shoes
Loved the quote on the other tool...."smart footwear"
wonder if it's as smart as my phone?
Can you imagine using that to button up your shoes or boots?
Can you imagine using that to button up your shoes or boots?
Have a stash of nifty little tools - like bottle openers,
that were given out as promotional items.

Oh Yay! I painted today...
a Birthday card
the weather was sunny and warm and I found some energy
it was just laying around not being used
:D

more paper play
Unryu paper with fibers colored with WN watercolors and some iridescent watercolors added for lights.
Attached to masa paper to give it some stability.
Cut to make an ACEO "blank"
Chinese brush with hand ground ink for the orchid.
The color, texture and bits of iridescent color really pleased me.

cut and paste?
a new shredder option?
maybe this will be a good background for something else...
stuck to a solid piece of paper for a little added strength
Right now this piece is under a stack of books to help it settle down.
Will trim and try a little drawing on top.
How to take a piece that I'm unhappy with and turn it into something else...
woven with a little Zen
Not the best strata for a pen drawing - the paper kept snagging the pen at the weave joints. I added some iridescent watercolor to pop up the design. I prefer the look of the woven paper left alone - where the effects of the watercolor on paper show.

Creamy paper...
Greys
So, I got this new watercolor paper and it isn't my usual bright white or even natural white. It's a lovely creamy white, toward the warm side. Change in paper and an effort to try something new. Looking to do a bit more high key or subtle work and a lot less definition.
Sepia
The paper does look white...but softer than the familiar ultra white.
