I have been enjoying painting bookmarks, to leave in the books I take out from the library 📚 🥰
Planning to read more.
A few of these bookmark have already been secretly taken by my daughters to use 🤫😄 they think I don’t know they have taken them.
Guess I have to paint more.

Hello there, long time no post 😁

I bought myself some new pant to try out, artist gouache and artist acrylic gouache. I want to see what the difference is and if I can feel the difference before buying a whole bunch of colours or a set. I had a feel for it, still not sure which one a prefer but maybe is what I paint that it will matter or maybe use both with watercolours 🤷🏻‍♀️ and make a mixed medium 😊 let’s see where this goes.

Thank you for sticking around even when the posts are far and in between

I am still here 🙋🏻‍♀️☺️ it has been awhile
Trying something new, embossing on watercolour paper then adding my painting. Even though I like this it is not exactly what I had in my head 🥴😁 but I will get there.
For now, here is a Monarch butterfly with a little abstract silver fern embossing.

Paint: Ercolano Orange, safari sunset, egg yolk, nightfall and primary yellow

Embossing- engraved in lino, then pressed.

Happy Valentine’s day

Hope your day is/was filled with a bit extra love, laughter and hugs.
I know some people don’t celebrate the 14 February because we should show one another everyday that we love each other. I agree to that,but if we can do some extra effort or simply do something different on that day, then why not.
Valentine’s day has changed for me in the years, it is not just about showing love for my partner but for all my relationships, for my kids, my family and my friends 🥰

Masking fluid
I have, feels like forever, bad luck with masking fluid.
I have tried different brand of products. A few weeks ago I gave it another try with different paper and just before I got deflated and miserable as I was struggling again (flip through the photos and see my attempt and a video).
I finally found that one of my journals are working so I played around with it a bit.

Painted used in the feather was mermaid song with mermaid’s shadow. The green wreath was painted with Devils bath, Algae and Pizzazz all from

The journal I used was my Fabriano wayercolour Aquarelle 200g

If you had any success with masking fluid please share what paper you used and what brand ?
