and i have to be honest.....i am in love with this fat Lyra graphite pencil that i bought to take Katie's class. it writes so smooth and goes down nicely and then a spritz of water, and the graphite pops to life and the black runs and will move a bit.
valentine's are due in a swap very soon- so i wasted no time..... the valentine's were supposed to be on playing cards and since i have cleaned and reorganized my studio- do you think i can find my whole box of playing cards?!!! of course not.
so i improvised and used a bingo card because it was about the same thickness and just cut it down to size.
i cut and then gesso'd; and once dry- i glued on collage before adding paint and ink and working some valentine magic.....
i received an order for valentines after posting to FB.....so will working to fill that order this weekend.
happy thursday!
Love the valentines!
ReplyDeleteNice! Where did you get the pencils? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove these. I wondered what your favorite inks are?
ReplyDeleteHi Hope! My favorite inks are by far the Dylusions spray inks. They can be a bit tricky but, love the colors! and the other thing I used that sometimes may resemble ink would be hi-flow acrylic paints. That is what i used on these valentines. :)
