Watercolor paint

Hello friend and welcome.
Rainy day has followed still here. Hope you had a special weekend.
I was very inspired by on the Darcy blog spot who has draw wonderful journal page using the watercolor paints. I have a go!!

I've stamped PA mini stamps randomly with watercolors onto the background.

I've brayered with some light opaque color from the top that the color was very vivid. Then I failed would turn off the merit of watercolor paint lol.  But I've continued to the finish, Okey I 'll try again soon.

I've used Japanese watercolor set, the each pigment has the Japanese old name.
I had keep it several years but did not use much. I'll try to use a little more.

Thank you so much stopping by, see you soon!!

Hello friends and welcome.
There was a weak earthquake after Kumamoto earthquake today's afternoon.
It about three months since has passed.
Today I've challenged Thats Crafty Blog Challenge theme 'Feminine'.
This is first time challenge to the Thats Crafty Blog.
I've decided to use the just new Tim Holtz's stamp that the theme is a 'Feminine'.

First of all I've used a modeling past over the top and the bottom of the 8 tag.
When it half dried I stamped some stamps with little water, also I painted white gesso over the tag. When it dried I painted by blue, brown and titan buff.
That was background.
Next I've stamped Tim's Lady Rose by Jet Black Archival onto the white card and I've painted her face and hair. I then cut it and used some crackle past and Glossy Accents.

Finally I choosing the embellishments I give the metal cogs, gears, die cutting gears and tape measure belt.

Over on the PaperArtsy blog this fortnight topic is 'Paper Piecing' which you can see the fabulous GD project and samples is here.
Two years ago, I had wonderful online class 'Artful Gatherin ' by Mary Jane Chadbourne, she taught us how to make a brilliant doll. Then I've made the doll for the theme.

I've used on the face using a transfer technique by the Lynne Perrella LPC010.

This is my doll.

This is the doll body, I've used some crackle paste and it was happy result.  

Unfortunately it did not see from the finished the doll.
