Day 23

     It is hard to believe I have posted for 23 days straight!  Oh my.  I love this 30 day creative challenge, but these daily posts are hard to get to.  Not the creating part - that is a given over the summer for me, but the posting . . .
      I finished my journal 52 page that I started yesterday.  It is for week 24 and the prompt was courage.  I found a text I like and wrote it in the center of a piece of cardstock.  Then I tangled a border around the text.  The daily prompt was to use a color you are fond of.  Had to be blue or purple.  I debated for quite a while whether to color the whole border, but finally decided on just highlighting some parts.  I like it better that way.
Week 24 - journal 52

      Diva's challenge #173 was given by guest Sharla Hicks this week - "Redux, Remix, and Revisit".  My tiles aren't overly creative in that department but when I saw the directions to use gel pens as a watercolor wash - I couldn't wait.  So I played a bit with betweed - one of my favorite go to tangles and then again with some mooka.   I then played with using my gel pens to "paint" with.  This is so cool!  I plan on maybe another visit to this challenge if I have inspiration this week, but now this is what I have come up with.  Check out the site by guest blogger Sharla Hicks here.  It is really a good bit of information about how to add some color.


       Every Inchie Monday's word was "maid".  I will take one!  I drew a silhouette of a maid and then watercolored the background.  I really wanted to do a tiny feather duster, but couldn't figure out how.  I know when I look over the other entries, I probably will see one - these ladies are super clever.

      Thank you for dropping by and visiting.  Please leave me a comment and perhaps consider following my blog!  Have a blessed day!

  2. WOW! Great job on everything! Love your inchie. I love watercolors! I need to work more on figure drawing. That is really well done! I also love your tangles... they both look sort of "from the ocean" to me. I love the pink and purple one... it looks like a ray to me! COOL!

  10. I am so amazed how you can draw such a complex thing on that tiny inch. Very nice. I also love the look of the gel pen. I haven't tried that one yet, but it is on my list. Your tiles are so pretty and soft this way. Great journal page as well.
