What? You've never heard of the special feather technique???
(I only used a feather because it was laying on the table from when I picked it up in the back yard a couple days ago. A toothpick would have done the trick but I didn't have one handy.)

The 3rd one started life as a gelli print with some misc papers and dress pattern tissue collaged onto it. I used Liquitex acrylic ink in turquoise first, then went over some of it with Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay Black India ink.
Lettered "trees" onto each card and I'm done. Trying to get a few swaps ahead so that I'm not always mailing on the last possible day. Karen is in Massachusetts, clear across the blasted country, and I suspect she's had to wait for me a time or two. (Sorry, Karen. Today I mailed off purple and Currie's collage cards.)
If you haven't yet joined in any MMSA swaps, you really should give it a go. I pretty much always get good cards back, and, as I've mentioned before, the weekly nature of her swaps keeps me constantly making art.
Love this technique! They look especially great against that background!
ReplyDeleteGREAT! You're definitely not the only one mailing on the very last day...in fact I've had to email Karen a couple times and say - wait, mine are in the mail! :) I totally missed purple which is unfortunate since it's one of my fave colors, but I'm ready for trees....
ReplyDeleteOh, what great trees and vivid backgrounds. Love 'em! Hope I get one in the swap.
