Getting There!
I'm catching up slowly but surely! I really struggled with the watercolor on this one. I was going for an Asian feel with the text running in vertical columns behind the image. Not quite there but a good idea. The text on the fortune paper makes the curve more believable. I like that.
I also like the fact that these, though still small, are larger than I usually work. One of my goals this year is to increase the size of my work.
I've got one more to do before tomorrow's assignment is posted-I don't think that's going to happen with three grandchildren visiting today!
