Been a fun journey over the last 61 days at Daisy yellow to do a card a day from a prompt on the Index card. I have enjoyed the challenge of coming up with something for each one and trying new techniques. Out of all of it I have really learned... Hey I can draw, who knew!! Certainly not me.. I knew I could draw a daisy but hey they are not hard. But I never would have thought I could draw a Zebra or a sewing machine. I have really enjoyed doing the little sketchy drawings. So I know that it is something that I am going to continue on with..
#53 Mushroom
Quote is Nature alone is antique and the oldest art a mushroom by Thomas Carlyle. This was done with watercolours on a sketch done with pen.
# 54 Leaf
I doodled a leaf collaged that beautiful fine purple leaf and sewed a leaf for this.
#55 Jewel
This is the different cuts that jewelers make for the stones.
#56 Turquoise
Background is Dylusion Spray, collaged the house from some Gelli prints and painted the tree, sewed around edge.. Typed with my typewriter for the quote.
#57 Carousel
I Went to draw a horse on a carousel pole but it turned into a unicorn with a
pointy tail..
#58 Zebra
Fun little sketch to draw..
#59 Angel
I used some of my deli paper gelli print for the background for this one. I drew the angel and then watercoloured and cut her out and collaged her on. I was a bit stuck about what to do about wording on this as I like to put quotes on my ICAD's.. That's when I thought wait, I will just copy the dictionary.
#60 Blind Selfie
Everyone was doing these blind selfies so I tried too and came up with this beauty.. lol I have lopsided eyes and a double chin...
#61 Thread
Well this was the last one for the year.. I drew the sewing machine then watercoloured it in. Stamped with a sewing pattern prima stamp for the background. I found this quote and so wanted to use it but had to type it 3 times in different ways to get it to fit. but I am glad I persevered with it.
I am going to post this over at Paint Party Friday.. Hi everyone..
Have a great day
Sandy :)
Wonderful cards, especially the mushroom and the leaves. Valerie

I was so taken with every single one of your art pieces. How wonderful--I adore leave, nature and the like--so I especially loved the one of the leaf bones.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all your index cards!! Like I said before wish I'd done it too...last time I did shoes and made it into a little booklet at vista print... You should take your favourites and get them made into a booklet..... you won't regret it. I love my book...I put quotes with them. Wait for a good sale at vistaprint though!!
