More Alcohol Ink Fun

I made this in my mixed media club where we played with alcohol inks. The bird is die-cut acetate (with matching paper behind). The background is done on vellum paper.

Purple Silly Bird

My Mixed Media club played with alcohol inks today. It was lots of fun - I love the intense colors they have! One thing we did was put a few drops of colors with alcohol on a Ranger craft mat, then smush and smear some glossy paper over it. This guy just popped out, so I grabbed a Sharpie and added the cartoon outlines, then added sky, branch and foliage with more alcohol inks.

Journey Collage

This collage started out as an experiment for one of my online painting classes by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen. It went through several incarnations before becoming this collage that I gave to a good friend of mine at her "Croning Party" - the celebration of her turning 60. It was lots of fun to finish something for a specific purpose! I was going through my pictures and realized I had not published it.

Spanish Village Detritus

Today was First Friday Extra Credit Sketching at Spanish Village in Balboa Park. I wasn't in the mood for sketching the buildings, so I sketched a couple of seed pods plus a snail I found while looking for more seed pods from the Jacaranda trees.

As I was on the way to Spanish Village, I noticed some flowers with big water droplets in the petals and managed to get a good picture of one of them.
