Day 18 - My Prompt - Lines

Fine Lines 

I have been working on the Shimmer and Shine show pieces.

This is a fail attempt which I am using for this challenge.

Sort of water landscape watercolor into which fine lines made with a dip pen in Payne's Gray acrylic ink.

Spattered with the dark ink.

Day 17

Nature Lines 

I decided to represent nature with lines.

Yellow Sunshine, Pink Flowers, Stormy Skies, Furrowed Fields, Green Trees, Prairie Grasses, and Lake Waves.

 

Inktober 2026 - Day 03

Just a simple abstract of geometric shapes.

I started with the circle then added the vertical and horizontal lines in relation to it.

I added color to the shapes - Yellow for the circle and green and blue for the lines.

A spatter of black ink is always a great way to break up large white spaces.

I ended up with some big spots as well but that is how it goes.

Slow Stitching - No. 050 - StitchingText

K3N Cloth Tales Slow Stitching Challenge 2024

Week 50 - Stitching Text.

I chose fabric with lines I could follow.

As it is snowing heavily today that is the word I chose.

I used stem stitch. Added highlight to the lines then used a white pencil to draft my letters. Then added a snowflake in the square and offset the empty corner with smaller snowflakes.

Really happy with this one.

12 - Doodle Around

Dip Pen with Black Daler-Rowney Acrylic Ink

on Canson Fluid Mixed Media 154lb paper.

I created the circle then just drew shapes leading out from it.

I then filled each shape with marks being careful to not touch wet areas with my hand.  Not easy but possible with patience.

Triangles, circles, straight lines, wavy lines, scallops all came into play on this piece.

 

Inktober 2024 - 07 Boxed In

Inktober 2024 Challenge

07 Boxed In

Feeling a little bit like that this week.

I cut 3 squares measuring 3", 2" and 1". I traced these in pencil into a geometric design on my 5x7 Fluid Mixed Media 154lb paper. 

I used my dip pen with Rotring Payne's Gray acrylic ink to trace the boxes.

I added the pop of yellow in the .75" circle. 

Rusty Star Wreath Card Set

This is another set of cards for the auction.

This is a wreath is my own design.  I have printed it in a warm dark green.  I have placed rusty stars onto it.  I added a great greeting in several fonts in the same colors in the wreath.  I added a great organza ribbon bow in a warm copper color.

The stars were diecut with the Sizzix Stars#2 die from copper card stock.

Yet, again in a clear box.

Card Exchange - Green Dots and Lines

I made these cards for my on-line card exchange.

I started with double sided Designer paper which I cut to 3.75"x 5".  Then I cut the piece on an angle and turned one over and glue them to the card front.  I wanted to add a triangular greeting but decided that was going to be too much of a challenge in the time I had so I chose oval instead. I added a oval greeting layered onto a larger oval punch.  A little bit of green baker's twine wrapped several times and tied to the inside of the card.

 The greeting is applied to the card front with 3D foam tape.  I laid the papers opposite on the next card.   The bakers twine goes the other way as well.

I hope the girls like them.  They are kinds of spring green to remind us of what grass looks like. Remember?  It's hard sometimes.
