I’ve been in a flurry of painted papers …..the “Sewn” class by Mary Ann Moss opened yesterday. Our assignment is to paint patterns on paper until Monday. That’s when the next lesson will be posted 🙂 To find out more about “Sewn,” see the short video link over on the sidebar. I love to paint patterns, I like the more abstract process. You just do it without much thought. I will be doing more patterns this weekend and I’ll post my patterns I have painted, thus far. Before that, let me show ICADs 33-35:
ICAD 33 is a collage of map, book and deli papers:
ICAD 34 is two magazine pieces that I embellished with a Sharpie pen by outlining the shapes:
ICAD 35 is watercolor with pen work:
To see others who are participating in Index Card a Day…go to Tammy at Daisy Yellow.
These are my painted patterns:

I loved the look of that class but just didn’t have the time to commit to it right now. It looks great. I will be looking forward to seeing what you produce. Love the pattern making.
Another set of great index cards. I really love the first one! I think it is those colours drawing me in.
