D day 3


For today's D I revisited the idea I learned from Kristin Dudish although when I went back to look at her blog I realized I didn't interpret what I was seeing right.  I thought she was randomly painting on paper (she was!) and then cutting up it up into pieces (she was!) and then gluing those onto other pieces and turning the abstract pieces into actual items by drawing on them (she wasn't). What she actually was doing was cutting the random painting into squares and then finding abstract shapes in the square and drawing around those to create objects or scenes.  Also very cool and I'll have to try that soon. 

Sooooo, anyways, I randomly watercolored on paper and then used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the "D" (I forget which font) and glued the D to another index card that I had painted with acrylic paint.  I added a drop shadow with watercolor to give it a more dimensional look. I'm happy with the overall impact.  It would be fun to also use this D as a jumping off point for more embellishment, too.
