Something’s not right

My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

True... @Snowie 

 

They will be looking at the art and not the cloth, nor the table @Bow 

 

Thanks for the company @Snowie . It was great to have you.

 

@Bow Wow wow and more wows. You may need to do a time lapse video one day of your work. I reckon it would be amazing. Doesn't watercolour end up ripping the paper after so many layers? I have watercolours at home. But my creative brain is fried.

Re: My Mosaic

Night @Snowie  my friend. I hope sleep brings you some reprieve 💕

 

@tyme  yeah if you brush it too roughly over and over it will start to wear the paper. I use good quality paper, it definitely makes a difference and I try and go gentle and allow it to dry well between coats. 

hey @Jynx 👋 

Re: My Mosaic

Good point @Bow . Drying in between. I'm thinking I'll be sitting there brushing brushing brushing until I get the tint I want...only to have a hole in the paper!

Re: My Mosaic

Re: My Mosaic

I kinda wanted it to seem like I was drying them in bundles @Bow - I've rigged some wire along the ceiling in my room, got some tiny wooden pegs and some like, twine and stuff, I reckon maybe I'll just have a play around with it and if it all goes pear-shaped....well I'll try to at least take photos of the disaster 🤣

 

I'm off hun!! We can show off to one another next time hehe. Nighty night, may your weekend be a chill and pleasant one!! 💜

Re: My Mosaic

Good afternoon @Bow

Hey @Snowie @tyme 👋 

 

yes it’s hot here. Very warm wind too, so have closed up all the doors. I’ve been inside all day though making stuff. 

Made all of these with polymer clay.

baked in the oven and they set hard. stinks the house out too!

 

then I got on the jigsaw and cut up some wood. Sanded that too- put some gardening gloves on though to sand my hands and nails! I was sweating heaps! Sanding is hard work. 

Then I painted the blocks of wood. And glued stalks on the flowers. 

I’ll do the next step tomorrow. Sitting down to watch some tv now!

 

oh and my CM stopped by briefly. 

how are you both?
