BLEEDING BORDERS

 This class is another use for re-inkers. I have all of the Distress re-inkers but only about 25 or so of the Distress re-inkers. I figured I'd work out which colours I need to top up as I use my Distress Oxide ink pads (which I actually use way more than my normal Distress Pads now!). I think it's probably the oxidation process that makes the Oxide re-inkers so versatile in this technique. The trick is to only wet them a tiny bit rather than flood the watercolour paper with them, though that's a nice look too! These are all created on 300gsm watercolour paper to help prevent warping. 

On another note, I missed my class last fortnight because the dreaded Covid caught up with me. I managed to avoid it for the last few years and have all of my jabs up to date so hopefully, it won't get me again. Pretty lousy few days but it was mostly over in about 7 days. One of the lucky ones I suspect.

"Condemned"
(Frayed Burlap Oxide Re-inker, just gorgeous!)


"Gucci"


"Annoyed"
(Now this is a reality show I'd go on!)


"The life of insects"


"Mummies"
(The proper collective noun for a group of
mummies is a Tanna of mummies. Apparently,
Tanna leaves can control them. A stumble refers
to a group of zombies. Personally, I should've
gone with my own idea for a group of mummies,
a wrap of mummies.)


"Sparkle"
(Slight Twilight reference there.) 😉


Close-up so you can see the sparkle.
