I saw a great paisley that was water-color-y looking, and decided I needed to play with making one....
...so fun! It's watercolor pencil, and I had planned on going in with a bit of water to smoosh it up a bit, but now I really like it as is. If I do mess with it more, I might go in with some black gesso in the background - wouldn't that make the colors just pop?
So I finished it and showed it to my hubby with a proud "taa-daa", and got the "That's nice....uhmmm, what's it for?" *sigh* Do you get that too? And for the hundreth time I say "it's for nothing, just to do it, I was curious how it would turn out." Then I pointed out that I don't get why he golfs, either, lol.
Go make something today! And if no-one around you "gets it", that's okay. Somewhere out there are thousands of other creative people, quietly expressing themselves with paint and ink and wire and paper - and we get it!

Hi Kat! I just love this!!!!!!!! I do think the black would really pop the colors too but I would be oh so very scared to try it. With my luck, I'd mess up the entire thing! My boyfriend does that "what's it for" thing too. I just smile and say "it's to make me happy!".
