Final days of 100 day project

Four flower-themed pages done in a mini-journal: mandalas, embossed and colored paper, wax crayon resist with watercolor. The middle photo has little experiments: embossing on white paper, red honeysuckle-inspired marks on paper. All done!

Week 13 of 100 Day Project - almost done!

Just one week left to complete 100 days of flowers & plants theme. Look closely and you'll see the Foxglove visual pun. I cut some stamps on eraser edges of leaves, flowers, a rain chain and path. There's a flower doodle pattern that I may try to translate into a band on my inkle loom based on the flower photo of Ajuga (Bugle Weed). Last of all a mini book I made with a video online, the 'Seaside Dreams' pages use flower collage, stamping, watercolor, and other little bits.

Week 12 of 100 day project

I also learned how to add stitching to watercolor on fabric, and made a freehand floral mandala. In the middle is my homemade rose stamp on a scrap of black construction paper where I  tested out Sharpies' new paint pens - basic color set - they are very nice!
