Feathered Friend Fun!

Hi Everyone!  It's Danie here today, with some little quirky feathered friends I have been doodling and painting just for fun using a mix of Splash Inks and Gelatos which are two fabulous mediums available at Altered Pages.

For my backgrounds I used a variety of Stencils with my Splash Inks and then colored in some of the white space with a bright yellow Gelato.




My birds have been painted with Splash Ink, and doodled over with both black and white pen and they wouldn't be complete without their feathers/crown.  This is something I love to create just to relax as it involves playing with color, getting messy and doodling, how about yourself, is their anything you love to create just for you?

I have one other ATC to share today which uses one of the pieces of this same Splash Ink Background.  The Red in this one I thought gave it an oriental look and was a perfect compliment to this beautiful Geisha I had sitting spare on my desk.



Until next time!
Danie xx

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
