fun and a little snow - on paper

 Bright Spot

OK 

I had the gelli plate out again 

and then added some pitt pen 

just for fun

 I heard on the news that a few folks got some surprise snow

so I had to make a little snow on paper

to show my support

and then I had to make a little more 

because I love

snow

I played and made a great mess

with my little gelli plate 

and my new metallic acrylics

After all the clean up 

these were the only dry ones

Think I will be doing this again 

with a few more texture tools.

Else...

Yesterday was full of fun new things...embossed a few designs on metal tape and burnished the final on 300 lb watercolor paper. Experimental process so there was a lot of OOPS! and waste but a lot of  fun, too.

Then I covered the metal with gesso and added a little fiber medium so the water would have more texture than the paper provided.  Liquid acrylics mixed to get my bahama blue water and a sea turtle green and painted away. There are a couple places where the sea barely covers the silver metal so there's a surprise sparkle or 2.  Last, varnished and set aside to decide what's next.
