I've decided to save my 30 day project pictures and my journal card pictures for one post each week. In the meantime I finished another seed/leaf/pod picture...
This piece is a combination of colored pencil and markers. I used the Goo Gone technique (that I linked to yesterday) on the blue parts of the pods, and markers on the seed sections. I really like the way I can blend the colored pencils using that technique. It almost comes out like I've used markers.
For some reason I seem to be drawn (bad pun!) to these pod-leaf shapes right now so I'm just going to see where it takes me. So far I'm having fun with them. I think they might become cards and prints very soon.
Hi Janet,
ReplyDeleteHere I am catching up with blogs after a self-imposed break from the blogging world.
I LOVE all your seed pod/leaf art!! Quite striking!
Have a lovely weekend! xx
They are really striking, and how nice with that soft shadow. Ever thought of incorporate them in a mandala?
ReplyDeleteas you know I love all your art work, but leaves and pods are my favourite things, I love them
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, I have not visited for a while . . . but got reminded of your wonderful art when reading your interview on Teresa's "I'm A Late Bloomer" blog. I love your bright and cheerful colors and your art is just so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI notice a post under, you might also like, titled Playing Cards...Or Not. I'll be going there next. I have been having fun with the Queen Of Hearts she has become my valentine muse.
Have a marvelous day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Nice pods, I will have to check out the technique you spoke of. It does look just like marker. xox
ReplyDeleteJanet - Your pod work is gorgeous - visually striking and memorable!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, always you find color that pulls me in.
ReplyDeleteWe have a fire going in the woodburner...it will be about 2 tonight.
I am so happy you watch Downton Abbey...it is my favorite thing on TV. I like Bates so much. I just know he will be back at Downton soon. I think there are loads of people watching it this new season. I hadn't shared my watching of this show until now because somehow I didn't think anyone would even know what I was talking about...Wrong!!!!
Big Hugs girlfriend, see you at the Abbey!
Ooh I'm catching up. I saw Teresa had posted another late bloomer was out but hadn't checked it out yet. I will definitely do it now! And your pods are gorgeous as always!
