I love crows, and I’m always trying to incorporate crows into my art. These two pieces are about 8″X8″, and are both experiments. Using charcoal, pens, paint, sandpaper, and stencils, they were created for fun. I have always loved the way they turned out, but never have done anything with them.
Much of my present day inspiration is in part due to Zebra Designs & Destinations. Check them out, and see what’s going on in another part of the world.
It seems to be my modus operandi to wait until the eleventh hour to start a project with a time frame. This one is no exception, when a friend of mine came up with a fabulous idea. Some of you may celebrate differently, but we celebrate Easter. To all of you I wish a beautiful day.
My friend came up with using origami papers to cover a plastic egg, top, and bottom. There are some beautiful origami papers out there, some reasonable, some expensive. Mostly I bought what I thought was expensive, but was probably somewhere in the middle price range.
Using matt medium, I covered the entire half of the egg, tore papers up, and used medium to hold them to the egg itself.
Since the origami papers only had a couple of the same colors, I had to glaze over them with a lighter, transparent color.
To finish it off I used Iridescent medium. The blue and green eggs are for the boys, Sage gets an entirely different more girly decorated egg. Stuff it with grass, a few candies, and a little money!
I’m finished, That’s it!
The eggs went over as expected……what kid doesn’t like getting money?
Some of you already know that my husband Les, and I just celebrated out 24th Anniversary. Both of us has been married before, so for us this was a big thing. Les brought me this beautiful bunch of flowers the day before so we could both enjoy them. This was followed by a fabulous dinner at Jake’s Del Mar Restaurant.
Old as Dirt and Proud of it!
