Today is Sketch Sunday over at Sophia's
*Blue Chair Diary* , so there will be lots of sketches to see if you follow the link. I am sharing a sketch - WIP that I made while watching TV yesterday evening. It has been drawn with black ink and water colour pencils. I have called it *Autumn Fairy*, I think I will do it again with paint and other media, this is just a sketch, an idea that came while watching people walk through the autumn leaves in a film....
And I made 2 tags for the
*Dragon's Dream Tag it on*
This week the dragon wants to see us facing it. I used the same stamp - a Da Vinci drawing - for both tags. The first tag has been made from cardboard, gesssoed, and then distressed with Th inks in tumbled glass, Victorian velvet, wild honey and forest moss, using the TH clock template. The lady has been stamped with Stazon black onto a transparency, and placed over the clock. The sentiment has been printed with a Brother P-Touch, and the lovely button was sent to me by June of Dezina World.
The second tag has been stamped with music notes (LaBlanche) and then with the face, using Archival black. I coloured the image with water colour pencils, and then stamped over the tag with a Sakura Glue pad before clear embossing it. The sentiment has been made with the P-touch again - every so often I remember that I have it! and I added a red bow and a music note charm (also from June!).
Both tags were fun to make, as was the sketch. Hope you have a great day, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Fab tags :) and a lovely sketch can see that is going to inspire a lot more works :)

Lovely work again, Val, especially the sketch! That will make a beautiful picture. Love the tags too, they are very ethereal. Hugs, Barb
ReplyDelete"Autumn" is absolutely wonderful. It would be fun to see again if you paint her. The tags are great - interesting in their composition, colours. What is a P-touch? Hope you have a lovely day, Val. hugs from Mexico, Donna

ReplyDeleteThe sketch is like an Autumnal Muse - so beautiful.
As for the tags, love that stamp. I am having a bit of a da Vinci moment myself (still to post on Blog - maybe this week). Got a great buy on E-bay of Stampington & co wood mounted stamps from the da Vinci collection.
Always inspirational when visiting you.

ReplyDeleteWow, Val. I like it alot. I don't usually like it when my black ink pen runs with my watercolours but it TOTALLY suits your sketch/painting. Seriously. I REALLY like it, the style, colours...nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leaves! The spirit is lovely! I cannot even bare to think of autumn yet :-) it still feels as autumn never left the west coast, we have had no inkling of summer not even spring really ?? The tags are great - using one of my favorite images!
