Watercolor Pendants

More finished pendants:






I am really having fun making these. And the ideas just keep flowing... you'll see!

The charms my mama made to go with each:



There aren't really two lines down the center of the feather. I used beveled glass on this one and it made the feather look funky.

Beveled glass is harder to use than flat glass, when it comes to soldering at least. It doesn't stay in place. It spins in circles as you are trying to move the solder around the piece-- which makes for some tough soldering. I really think I am getting the hand of the whole soldering thing though! My mom? She's another story...

Modern Floral Watercolor 5

I got a new handmade watercolor pallet from Designs by Rachel Beth on Etsy and I couldn't wait to try it. I'm pretty excited about how this one turned out-- especially the yellow rose shape. That one didn't turn out so great the last time I tried it. I think using a smaller brush helped.

White Poinsettia

I love painting poinsettias. It's a rather simple flower and the layers and shadows make it a lot of fun to paint. I have painted a few red poinsettias, but never any white. I've always been intimidated by the white ones-- until now! It turns out they're not that hard to paint at all. I especially had fun with different tones of white in this one.

Painting With Straws

I found this  link to an awesome blog on Pinterest: Grow Creative . She has lots of fun ideas for watercolors and I am going to try a few. One of them was blowing paint with straws. I remember doing this is elementary school, but forgot all about it until I saw it on Pinterest (where I found her blog). Of course I had to try it again. Here are the results: Fun! I'll definitely be doing this again when I get bored and don't know what to paint. I would suggest taking breaks often while doing this...I definitely got a little light-headed. Blowing through a straw is harder than you might think... Toby was very interested in what I was doing when I was working on these...
