Here are the next two weeks' of ICAD. Above, Seaglass; Alphabet; Sunflower and Xylophone. Inks, paint and magazine collage featured here.
Violet; Tranquility and Postage Stamp.
Unexpected and Enchanted Forest.
Inside Unexpected is a surprise...
...and a unicorn is hiding in the Enchanted Forest. This one took a while as I kept changing the opening sections, cutting bits out, then putting them back. I used a tree stencil with some inking as well as paper from a paper pad with the starry sky and the unicorn stamp which was embossed in silver. I finished it with lots of stickles (glitter glue). It got there in the end!
Bubbles; Dictionary (using a piece of dictionary page with the word 'dictionary' circled; Indigo and Pinball.
Finally for now Asanoha, which is a traditional Japanese pattern based on a hemp leaf inside a hexagon. Thanks to the internet for this and for how to draw it too!
Some of these prompts are certainly giving me a challenge but it's an enjoyable one.
I am glad that you are enjoying it because I certainly love seeing your creations. Enchanted forest is charming and I also love the sunflower and the face.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. You are so kind. It is a fun challenge and I like being able to use some of my stash which doesn't get used so much.

Oh wow, love that Japanese pattern. That's a happy sunflower. Lovely mystical, enchanted wood too - great twiggy framework :) xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lulu. Once I got the hang of the Japanese pattern it worked well. The twiggy framework was courtesy of a very nice stencil (The Crafters Workshop - Tree Branches) which I seem to use fairly often.
