I'm calling this post a Weekly Wrap Up because I probably won't be doing much art for the rest of the week.
This week I'm waiting for a few supplies to arrive before I can continue with things. And so, meanwhile, I can share what I've done so far while waiting for these things.
Here's where I am so far with the mosaic. I'm working on the red rays of
the sun now. The stars will be next to get made but then it'll sit for a
bit. I can't decide if I want to paint the background or mosaic it. So
until I make that decision, it will wait patiently for me.
Now that it's been gifted I can share a dot painting I made for the just turned 18 year old young lady in our family. It's 5x7 inches and the background was done using the technique I'm loving at the moment. Dots of acrylics here and there and then using a paint brush, blend the colors together a bit. Always a different result and always interesting.
Some doodles were done before the black ink dried up. Always a sad day when that happens. Photo 1 is probably a reason I have to restock my black ink every two months.
I'm not without other sources for my art doodles and I did use them in the second photo. The color around the black and white doodles are done with pencils.
I used a few stencils in photos 1&2 below. Photo 1 was done with black ink pen and Sharpies. Photo 2 black ink, Sharpies, alcohol ink markers and colored pencils.
The 3rd photo was done using Arteza ink pens.
Finally, here's a photo of the frame I made using cardboard and brown craft paper. I have to say it took a very long time and I'm not sure the result was as I hoped but it's been done and maybe at some point I'll try again. It's good to experiment and experience new things to make.
I added a few plastics tops from the colorful lancets I use to check my diabetes and a clay flower I made and painted.
Enjoy the journey.
