There is something wonderful about creating collage in grids…
Maybe it is like a box of chocolates…
Knowing that each space is filled with something delicious!
Or maybe it is finding that one unexpected surprise!
Or perhaps, it is a uniform and consistent result:
That brings you a feeling of comfort…
What collage grid do you like? How does it make you feel?
I hope you share it with me!
Cheers! 🙂
Many of you may know that I LOVE puzzles!
So when Carla Sonheim recently gave the assignment on her “365 video class” to create A Puzzle Picture, I had to give it a try!
I started by creating an imaginary shape in watercolor. After a couple of watercolor layers, I added detail with color pencil and shaded with a 2B pencil. And my imaginary animal(s) appeared!
Next, I cut my paper in half and added elements that fit together like a puzzle:
From each side of my square:
It was a fun challenge to get the elements to line up and create an interesting picture:
I hope you give it a try!
And allow your imagination to let go like a child’s balloon in the sky…
I hope you weekend is FUNtastic!
Cheers! 🙂

I’ve been taking an online watercolor class from Danielle Donaldson. It is fun to learn to paint in someone else’s style. I hope to apply bits and pieces to my own style.
I don’t paint a lot of “cute” but these critters were fun to do – a bear:
And a hound dog:
They might make fun cards when I need to cheer someone up – like YOU!
Cheers! 🙂
