Anyway, as I was packing to go away, I couldn't bear to leave ALL my arty things behind cos there's nothing worse than having time and the urge to be creative and having no materials with you! I put together a 'travel kit' and spent a happy half-hour prepping a small sketchbook with loads of inky backgrounds and stamps, all ready for sketches. Funny how when time is short, you get the best results!
All I needed to pack was my tin of Stabilo All Pencils in a range of colours, a pencil sharper and my water brush! Easy peasy ...
So I managed a few sketches sitting round by the pool .... not a bad life eh???
I created the backgrounds using Dylusions Inks and a selection of stencils and in some cases, stamped over them using some of Dyan Reaveley's background stamps. I'm thinking about adding phrases now and a few additional bits n pieces so will have to show you the final piece later! I don't know about you but I frequently have work in progress which gets completed in stages ... it used to really frustrate me but now I try and 'go with the flow'.
Until next time ... happy painting ... or in today's case 'inking'...
