Silence is Golden

I do not fancy driving in or shoveling snow but I sure love

the scenery it makes. I spent the week making some of my

snowscene watercolors into winter cards.

I love cold weather and being out in a forest covered with snow.

I was even painting these winter forests back in June already.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design.

I am sharing this with Illustration Friday, Paint Party Friday

and Artists in Blogland.

Have a good weekend....I am off to a watercolor workshop.

Tomorrow

Light Tomorrow with Today

This sounds like good advice to me.

A simple bookmark for sharing at Less is More.

Shoes

The Perfect Pair of Shoes

I have to admit that I have a thing for well-designed, good

fitting shoes.

This quote from Quiet Fire Design says it all.

This is my entry to Crazy Amigos.

Connections II

Connections II

Today I have two bookmarks/tags as the second in

the Connections Series. The green ribbon is woven

through screw punched holes on the watercolored paper

and looped out on the upper left corner.

I then edged the piece with tissue tape.

Here I painted wet-in-wet shapes of green and yellow

watercolor and then punched holes for the yellow yarn.

As a final touch I added striped washi tape on the edges.

Before washi tape was all the rage I would mask off my

edges and draw stripes with various gel pens...washi tape

saves so much time.

The quote is from Quiet Fire Design in Canada.

This is my entry to Summer of Color.

Connections I

I Am the Connections That I Weave

I find one of the best points about blogging is that it allows me

to weave quite a few connections in many

different and interesting directions.

My trusty screw punch was again,,,called into action.

Various watercolor stripes are connected by metallic threads.

The quote is from Suzanne at Quiet Fire Design in Canada. She

has been busy creating new quotes as well as giving her website

a fresh coat of paint. Go connect for yourself.
