Started this "Itty Bitty" a couple of days ago; finished it today.  It's only about 3"x 4".  I have learned this in an online class with KelliMayKrenzArt.  Always loved handstitching and this is so much like collage, but with tiny pieces of leftover fabric and "this & that". 

So...yesterday I continued with the watercolors making circles on watercolor paper; wet circles and then drop or brush in other colors and let them "do their thing".  At first I thought "eh" but then, when they were completely dry, I did cut them with a circle punch and grew to like them better.  It was fun to do and I'm sure you can come up with some dandies!  Give it a "swirl"! 

A "strata" collage of many strips of different magazine pictures.  Fun to do and look who's sitting in the front!  I wanted to create a scene to go with this quote:

"Ahhh - But there is nothing like staying home for real comfort."    Jane Austen

Here's your creative prompt for the day!  I found this in a book that I have and thought it looked like fun and it teaches you about creating depth.  Using watercolors and starting with maybe #12 watercolor brush, paint light-colored ovals on a piece of watercolor paper in the colors of your choice.  I think i was thinking of zinnias and sky.  :)  Then continue with another darker shape of the same hue inside the first oval with a smaller brush, and then another shape inside that one, darker hue yet, and with a smaller brush.  When all is dry, finally make these small marks in the negative space with either a small brush and black watercolor or a brush pen.  I used a Tom Bow brush pen.

To me, it was meditative and calming.  Of course, most of you know how I love stippling. 

So, here we are all at home, mostly anyway.  decided to resurrect my old blog and give that a try to connect with my classes and whoever is interested. 

This is just a little prompt that I send out last week.  Making a design with snipped shapes of all different papers.  Wonky or not.  I seem to like the wonky for this because to me it shows interest and action. 

And then...Collage or illustrate your day today.  This was yesterday...Grrrrrrr.  And they are on the larger index cards so I will attach them to a page in my journal. 

I am rusty with entering the things I want on here but I'll struggle along and hope it comes back to me.
