Silks + Oil Pastels = Fun Art Mail Day!

Roni here....don't you just love it when you get fun art supplies in the mail?  They just scream play with me and won't quit until you do.  Altered Pages is getting in so many fun new art supplies that I just had to place an order recently and when they arrived I just couldn't contain myself, I had to break them out and give 'em a whirl right then and there.

I grabbed the first piece of paper I could find which happened to be a piece of watercolor paper that was a cut-off from a recent project.  It just so happens it's the perfect size to make a bookmark.  To start off I drew a quickie flower using a Micron Pen.


I then added a layer of Silks glaze to the flower bits using my Niji Waterbrush...


I then added a bit of Niji Oil Pastels for the sky.


 I blended the pastels, added a bit of pen work and finished the sky off with a clear layer of sparkle using the Wink of Stella brush.

 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.
