I am not totally out to lunch!

This has been a tough month, but I am still plugging away. Tangling, thanks to you Sammy, has gotten me through, and I am slowly coming out into the world again.
The first wall project is slowly growing.

It's progressing slowly but surely.

This is the design I did on my homemade paper.  Yes, the pen does bleed in spots.  I tried everything for shadows,and finally got watercolors to sort of work.  I think this is going to take some time to figure out the perfect technique.

  1. Oh thank goodness! I know he didn’t say “no” but I thought he might have locked you in the chicken coop :-). :-). The wall is looking fabulous and the paper face is so tribal yet whimsical!

    What did you use in the paper pulp for color bits and red hue? I haven’t made any for years and gave away all my felts, etc. years ago, but it was a hobby I loved at the time.

    I can’t think of anything to shade that won’t get absorbed by the handmade paper face, and am surprised the water colors “held”. I think it looks terrific!!

    So happy to hear from you. I’ve been doing lots of tangle practice, but not for posting purposes – just practicing different patterns.
