Birds of a Feather and Tea Cups

Just a couple of little watercolor painting---stitched. Fun! * I love birds. The birds are 5x8 and the tea cups are 41/2 x 6.

Also here is my good buddy, Julie, and her Calligra-FUN practice. I am so proud of all my students. They have all caught on very quickly and turned out some very impressive work!!!

Paper Scrap Flower

I had some paper on my table that kept catching my eye but it was just a practice scrap that I had experimented on to see if I could write some calligraphy with a pointed nib over watercolor after clear gesso was applied. (yes, I am glad to say this works!) The experimental paper was colorful and interesting but didn't have much of a purpose so I decided it needed to be a flower. Bernie and I had fun! This one is 6x10.

Little 5x5-ies--Stitching with Bernie

These are little 31/2 x 31/2 prints stitched to 5x5  card stock. Actually the flowers are original watercolor. The calligraphy is scanned in and placed on the backgrounds using Photoshop  These are fun to make. I enjoy stitching with Bernie. So far, Bernie and I are getting along pretty well.
