The sea has it's pearls: Week 14 DLP

The Original Documented Life Project (DLP) for Week 14

The Theme for April is: Color Safari (Exploring Inks and Paints)

The April 4th Art Challenge is: Watercolors

The Journal Prompt ~ It's water under the bridge

I enjoyed working with fabric for my last challenge page, so I thought I would explore that idea some more. I found a piece of fabric that reminded me of water but it was brown. So I used my watercolor briques to color on it directly so it was a bit more blue. Spritzed it with water to activate. These briques have been used and abused but still do the job well!

I used more than one color brique to lay the color on the page . . .

Then used a large wet brush to make the color pop! 

Tacky Glue on  the back of the fabric piece, press it into place . . . 

Then to add some rubber stamping . . . 

Watercolor briques producing the blue colors of water, with a wet brush! A sea theme with watery creatures and a bridge to the previous page via a piece of fabric :0)
