Take a Word #38 - Flight

The Take a Word challenge this week is "Flight". For my bird's background I used two pieces of freezer paper on which I dropped various acrylic paint. By pressing the two sheets together and using a brayer, I got backgrounds on both the slick pieces of freezer paper.

For the rust colored background, I have tried to redeem a piece of watercolor paper that I royally messed up. I tried to do an iris in watercolor pencil and it looked awful. I kept applying various dyes and alcohol inks to cover the iris, to no avail.  So I have stamped hot air balloons all over it and covered up the iris with the bird panel. I think the colors turned out really pretty.
