hey if it wasn't for these swaps I just might go crazy so I might as well stay busy. LOL I was all caught up on my other swaps that are not due until june so I joined this one too. i really tried to think out of the box and do something different than I had been doing. So I headed out to Michaels and bought some oil pastel sticks "Student Grade" as they were cheaper. Well after I got home and started the stick was way to waxy so I had to also use paint and my acid free markers. I started by coloring in the backgroups with a few colors of the oil pastels. then I took my heat embossing tool and melt the wax a bit to the small canvas. I then started filling in the white spots with other colors of markers. The swap consist of four piece's so maybe tomorrow I will do my Lucy Lou Who character. These are all created by free hand. It has been probably 20 years since I have done this kind of art but I am loving it. It keeps my mind busy and gives me something to do while my multiple sclerosis has my legs totally out of commission. Some days my hands work better than other just hope God keeps my hands in tact.
THese are wonderful..you are indeed a fine artist!
