Acrylic background, pyramids from from a water damaged copy of The Modern Encyclopedia (no publication date, but it looks ancient), and Neocolors to grunge it up at bit.

I didn't even know I was planning this - it just happened in about five minutes. Amazing how that happens sometimes. Pale pink card, dylusions stencil & inks, raindrops stamp www.facebook.com/pages/Designs-by-Ryn-Rubber-Stamps/10991... stamped with Archival ink, printed text and oil pastel to outline the text :D

We had a "working" long weekend for the 4th. But, late today, we took time for ourselves & sat at the outdoor table & played with Daniel's Mom's old water color paints.

I will embellish these for additional ICADS.

I worked on this one over a period of days. I kept adding more & more layers. Once again, the white gel pen makes things pop!

June 21 was just too hot to be very creative, so I did a quick background of acrylic, gesso and Inktense pencils, then cut out some magazine photos to add. Also a fortune from cookie (Panda Express)...the nose I painted on myself.

THE CROW

pencil/pen drawing with watercolor and stitching on the branches - some of the branch brown was pigment made in the workshop i attended last weekend... if you look a few photos back in the flickr post you can see the field book that we made.. a wonderful class

I never physically met him, but fell in love with Jake, fur-child of a friend, through hilarious videos, pics, and tales of antics. A copy of her Tombow marker 'painting' of him from 2014

Tissue paper and Washi Tape. Daniel put the ICAD in a frame we bought at Tuesday Mornings from the Clearance section. We'll eventually use the frame for a photo instead of ICADS.

It is suddenly warm & summer is upon us. So, it is time to break out the index cards and play!
