Show Us Your Media

I am excited to be participating in Dina Wakley’s new monthly challenge.  For this month, the prompt is “Show Me WHY You Create”.

I create because I LOVE it:

and it fulfills a DREAM:

Now that I am retired, I find creative fulfillment by making art…art of all kinds.

This is actually a part of a larger watercolor Mixed Media piece that I created for a mail art envelope using Roben-Marie Smith’s video tutorial: https://youtu.be/M9h0j_YqZPQ

Here is my envelope:

I used Dina Wakley’s Heavy Body Paints colors: Magenta, Lemon, Tangerine, Turquiose, and Blackberry Violet.  If you have not used Dina’s paints, they are creamy and highly pigmented… I love them.

I also used the following Golden Heavy Body Paints: White, Payne’s Gray, and Quinacridone/Nickel Azo Gold.

I also used pencil, black pen, Uni-ball Signo white pen, Stabilo Marks All black pencil, waterbrush, stencils, stamps…  and a couple of  hand-carved stamps: numbers and wheel…

I hope you will decide to join Dina and create your own Mixed MEdia piece.  Go to dinastamps.typepad.com for more details. If you do, be sure to use the tag #ShowUsYourMEdia and #RangerInk.

Love you all!
