Think in Color

Think left and think right and think low and think high....

OH the thinks you can think up if only

you TRY!

I think this is a fun quote from Dr. Seuss....don't you?

I like to think in color too....on some watercolor papers.

I think I am going to have a super sunny day....I think you will too.

I think I will share this colorful project with Mikrokosmos Photo.

Purrfect Christmas

 I hope you are relaxed and ready for the purrfect Christmas.

 I made some gift tags for some of my cat loving friends.

Gift tag salad.....ready to get attached to the presents. 

I could not resist,,,,,I had to hang one on my door handle.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team.

Pantone Color of the Year for 2014

 What a beautiful color isn't it....very radiant indeed.  

all fotos Pantone Pinterest

I did not know that orchid was the color for 2014 when I made these

Xmas cards.   

 These trees were cut out of kleenex boxes.  At first I thought I would cut out EACH individual

mosaic stone,,,,well, after I cut out a few I quickly changed my mind and just cut out the 

shapes of a trees.

  The scraps after all that cutting.....or a big mess......

but after much painting, splashing and tearing it made me a nice stash of Xmas cards.

I am sharing this with Macro Monday 2, Sweet Shot Tuesday, Paint Party Friday and Tuesday
Around the World.
Here is a link for Pantone too.

The color of the year for 2013 was emerald green and for 2012 was tangerine tango.

So tell me,,,,what do you think of this year's color of Radiant Orchid?

Tis the Season

Tis the Season....in a rainbow of washi tape colors. 

Pick a color. 

Any color. 

 Maybe you are a purple person.

Or a pink person. 

I love the color orange.

I had fun using up some of my assorted washi tapes.

Some quick and easy Christmas cards.

I am sharing this with Take a Word.

You  know what they say don´t you...

A girl can never be too rich, too skinny or have

too much washi tape.

Winter Forest

 Painting some winter forest cards.

Soon my surroundings will look like winter....till then I am enjoying

the November sunshine.

Have a good weekend.

I am sharing this post with Paint Party Friday

You Sparkle

You Sparkle

Somebody should really take my ink pen away from me.

I don´t know what is more addictive....punching swiss cheese

type holes in everything with my screw punch or doodling

on every piece of paper I can find.

Hope your day sparkles!

My entry to One Layer Wednesday.

Remedy

Taking time in your garden is a remedy for anything

that might ail you.

Have a great weekend!

This is my entry to Illlustration Friday and

Paint Party Friday.

Recycle

Meow

I like to recycle store bought greeting

cards that people send me.

Here I used a cat that I received.

I cut it out and added a crown.

I mean every princess needs a crown,

just ask Kate if you don´t believe me.

A few crowns were

stamped on the white card and a few paw

prints around this lilac persian. I topped it

off with some vellum, jewel studded brads

and fibers.

Want to see another princess?

This is my entry for Created By Hand.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Winter

Happy Winter


I used a copy of one of my winter watercolor paintings
and doodled in black ink, stamped some snowflakes,,,,
doodled in white ink, splattered some gesso and
edged it in white.


I then adhered it to purple, swirl stamped paper and
attached it to a piece of bookcover board.


Holes were punched in one corner where I attached
some ribbon and some metal decorations. To top
it all off I pasted an old snowman postage stamp
and called it finished.


Winter has given us a break here in Germany
but it is by no means done with us yet. I prefer cold
temperatures and am glad to see that this week´s
theme at Tag Tuesday is WINTER.

Drawing without an Eraser

"Life is Drawing without an Eraser"

This tag/bookmark is made with some of my wet-in-wet watercolor paper.

A closer view of the mingling of Scarlet, Cobalt and Violet onto an already wet watercolor paper.

Allowing the colors to happily move and mesh together on their own free will creates nice soft edges.

Louise over at Tag Tuesday is interested in seeing various background techniques...go have a look at some more as well as over at Theme Thursday where the theme is Faces.

Chase Life

"Chase Life"

A sprig of clover colored with watercolor crayons and sprayed with water.

For the background I used a piece of easy foam which I first pressed into a brick wall

and transferred onto watercolor paper with orchid ink. A few diamond holes were punched and a purple string threaded through two of them. Some copper paint was splattered and then backed onto black card stock and edged with copper and black ink.

Since everyone at Wednesday Stamper is in love with purple this week ,,,,I thought I would

add this to their collection.

Butterfly Tag

Watercolor butterflies ....my purple butterfly bushes are so full of butterflies this summer.

Tag Tuesday has inspired me to make some butterfly tags this weekend.

I tied the gold thread into the shape of a butterfly and hung three smaller tags from it.
