Word Art Wednesday

This is a watercolor I made yesterday. I have digitally

attached this week's WAW scripture and am entering

this in Word Art Wednesday challenge.Sorry it is hard to 

read the white on green. You can click on the mage

to enlarge it. Here is the scripture:

Colored Phone Doodle

This was a pencil doodle on the back of a used

computer paper (may or may not be a crossword

puzzle). Again it is something that crawled out of

my brain while I was on the phone. I colored it 

afterwards with dry watercolor pencils. I can't

figure why I always get one eye too high.

Paint Party Friday - April 25

These two sketches were done at the car dealership where I was

getting my car checked up. The top one is a man who was 

watching TV and was sketched on the opposite side of a 

crossword puzzle  I had done. The eye is just a sketch.

Here are some flowers some friends brought me and I arranged

them in a container I had. I miss flower arranging. I used to do

it a lot when I was in Garden Club.

This, of course, is nowhere near like the arrangement above.

I just used the real thing as a tool to get the flowers where

I wanted them to go. This was nothing but a big mess until

I added the pen marks. This is for  Paint Party Friday.

Word Art Wednesday for 4-23

My entry for WAW using speckling paste on ivory card.

Playing with spackling paste and stencils

                      

              

The top two have the same pale cream color card stock. I don't know why I can't

get the original (left) to show white on cream. The second photo is where I painted

in with acrylic colors. The 3rd one is where I changed the colors with Photoshop

Elements. The fourth one is using another photo changing program. The last two

are just digital images, but I could print them out. I like the white on cream best.

I mailed a similar card to my daughter-in-law and it got there intact!

Something crazy for PPF

This rug has so many funny images in it. Ever since we got it years ago, 

I have found people, birds, and animals in it. I decided to take one of

those images and do a painting in Caran d'Ache crayons. I am entering

this in the Paint Party Friday challenge.

Playing with Alcohol Inks Again - PPF

I started with alcohol ink on acetate using 2 greens (meadow and lettuce),

a blue (stream), gold, and eggplant. The gold doesn't show well at all.

I didn't care for this combination and neither did my "friends" on FB, so

I used a photo altering program to change the colors (photo2). I thought

I could see a face so I rotated the photo and outlined images I saw in white

gel pen. This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

BTW - Is anyone else having emails not reaching bloggers to let them

know that there is a new comment on their blogs? Now almost all of

them, but not all, are coming to me with: mail delivery failure.

Easter Joy - WAW

I had this wonderful background I had made using spackle paste,

giving it lots of textures. I splotched it with various colors of acrylic

paints. It looked like Easter resurrection to me so I drew a dancing

woman disciple showing joy over the risen Christ. The text for the

Word Art Wednesday seems to fit right in with this.

Alcohol Ink and Acetate - PPF

I found some sheets of acetate in my husband's old papers and decided

to try alcohol inks on them. This turned out so pretty, I think.

Next I used a sponge and leftover alcohol inks and I blotted all over

a sheet of computer paper, adding a bit of gold. I did a bit of stamping so I had 

an overall design.  I overlaid an acetate sheet on top of this, creating a 

shiny surface.  I made a card or two using the acetate/paper combination.
