I finally finished the bits I cut from the failed turtle painting. I have ended up with over 50 small pieces and 50 bookmarks!
So I better not ruin another large watercolor..because this is a lot of work!
And I hate to waste when there were some good passages.
I also made a small art journal. It has card stock covers, Thai Phenom paper end pages and arches 90Lb. paper pages. All stamping done with handmade stamps I made yesterday. I used a plastic eraser and carved 4 sides. Then I cut up a soft lino block and carved some more stamps. That was fun and easy with some nice effects. I used the same stamps for the 30+ paintings.
I plan to make some more art journals because they are fun to do.
It has been snowing today, rain yesterday..good days for art!
Hope your weekend is fun too.
What an amazing post I like the idea of the bookmarks. Great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ralph..hope you are having a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou have so many innovative of making your art Kay, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Those are amazingly beautiful bits!!! Hard to believe you had a painting that didn't work out!!! You could also use them as business cards, maybe....they are truly beautiful!
ReplyDeletethat is a great idea Carol! Ryan..so glad you came for a look.
ReplyDeleteKay, these are just gorgeous. And, you made your own stamps from a pencil eraser??? Lady, I do not call this a failed painting...I call it creative art!
ReplyDeleteCarol..you crack me up! White plastic erasers are so easy to carve. and you can use all sides..makes for a very versatile little item!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pieces and its wonderful that were able to recycle the 'failed' painting, though i can imagine it is a big disappointment that you felt it wasn't a success in the first place
