...glitter and watercolour...

...water colour continues to be "one of" my favourite mediums...(and of course copic markers)...
...it alway's dries different from what you expect,surprizing you time and time again...even a ten year old can do it and produce something gorgeous each time...

...used here are twinkling H2Os on tissue paper(mail me if you need instructions)recycled retro shopping bag,150 pound magna paper (tag)and of course spica pens and Copic markers...and of course standard blank cards and metal tidbit's from the treasure box (heart)...

...if I ever get time to get old...then i would like to spend a lot more time playing with all mixed media...stay warm on this chilly day...

...first snow...

...our first snow fall...i think the pattern is quite neat...of course it's melted now...


...but the moment was captured...enjoy...


...thoughts for the month..

...would you accept a much less enjoyable job paying twice what you make now? if you received the same pay regardless of your job, what kind of work would you do? if you were financially independent, would you continue to work? if not, what would you do?

no comment necessary but if you want to share your thoughts please go ahead!

.......thanks for stopping by today...

...watercolour ornaments....

...what a fun colour combo...i was bonding with DDD this morning and this was one of my favourite creations that came out of my efforts...i hope to have a number ready to go for those special people that would prefer an original water colour over a store bought reproduction...
not everyone "get's that though...

...funky snow people...

...the joy of coloring images...i love it...here another test on paper...the local supplier is out of the premium paper... so until they restock the test continues...basic grey paper for the back...alway's unique and different...are you feeling the season?...stay tuned for the next post...watercolouring on sketch paper...scrumptious!...

...tags...cuddly christmas trees...copic markers...

...i love the richness of copic markers...the stamp is from salt spring island...
spica glitterpens add a nice delicate bit of sparkle without looking nasty...enjoy the sunshine...

....Sparkle...

...copic markers,spica glitter pens and great stamps make this a neat tag...
...i love homemade tags on presents...it takes a touch of the commercialness of the season away...enjoy...

...hedgehogs....

....copic markers and seasonal hedgehogs..
...truly exciting.. i finally caved and bought some...they say it takes a serious learning curve,however i dissagree...they would be used akin to a tombow marker.. tombow markers are used for blending colors on the paper with the use of a blender pen, whereas i blend copics on a smooth surface or simply pick up deeper colors with the tip of a lighter color marker...take a few minutes to play with them and you will figure out how they work quite quickly.. i find you really need to pay attention to the paper and ink you use..... thanks for looking....

...gerberas...
