Quick Fix





I visited Lynne's blog the other day and saw that she had been painting more tags, which made me want to do a few more. I have now finished the packet of 20 tags and they are all in the little cellophane packet waiting. Andy asked me what they were for-good question but I don't know really. Apart from to make me happy doing them, they are not really for anything. Lynne is going to put hers on one of those metal rings as a book. I like that idea and may do that too. I may attempt to sell them in my Etsy shop or I may use them as gift tags. I think they are may be a bit sombre for that, although two of tonight's are almost smiling. I bought another packet of tags. I may have a different theme for those-not sure yet-I thought maybe flowers, insects or maybe both combined. I love using the gouache paints on them as the colours are so intense. Tonight I used black, white, brown pink, rose pink, lemon yellow, yellow ochre and my favourite out of the colours I have got-cool grey. It is a bluey/greeney grey and makes mouthwatering greens when mixed with lemon yellow. I used a charcoal pencil to sketch the faces first.

Fun little works of art they are. Have you ever done ACEO's? (Art Cards, Editions and Originals)--if you don't know what they are there is plenty of info on the web.

Little masterpieces, Sarah! These are really wonderful. I especially love the one with red background. Yes, do add some to your shop! I am fascinated by works on small scale... I guess that's why jewelry making delights. ;o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

I love how these turned out Sarah!

I think you should frame them - either singly or all of them in a big frame.
