Another layer for Belinda's watercolor experiment

Belinda left it behind at my home a couple of weeks ago - so I HAD to play with it a little.

(Penance for not getting to the quilting of her vintage project??)

Here's what I added:

1. added titanium white acrylic thru doily stencil
2. Washed watered Green Gold acrylic around central motif
3. Washed Quin Gold over Green Gold
4. Rinse and repeat last two steps.
5. Darkened birds with ink marker

Is it done?

Morikami exhibit worth visting

Mariko Kusumoto at the Morikami

The two exhibits on at the Morikami through May 6 are worth us visiting on one of our Odd Tuesdays.

Mariko Kusumoto makes these intricate assemblages boxes with printmaking processes on metal.
Many of them feel like mixed media pieces and are detailed mysterious.

At the same time is a display of Japanese prints, modern versions that are fascinating.

My membership lets me bring in one guest for free. (And tiny discounts in cafe or shop if we buy there)
