Hummingbird Just for Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I am really enjoying my Betterpress.

I wanted to see how it would look with a second pull from the inked plate

and tried it on a piece of Pebble Betterpress paper that came with my starter set.

I didn't think I'd care for the pebble paper, but I've decided that I need to

use it more often.

I am still experimenting with different coloring mediums and this time I went with

Caran d'ache Supracolor Pencils.

After coloring the different areas, I blended with a damp waterbrush.

The layout wasn't originally intended.  I was experimenting with an 

Elegant Writer and trying to fill in between the leaves and flowers at the bottom

of the design.  It didn't work like I wanted and I cut off the offending portion.

I'm glad I didn't experiment in the middle!

It turned out to be a happy accident and a challenge to figure out how to use the 

image and not have to throw it all away.
