Still Using Up Art Bits

 


Art Sparks 3!:  Pockets full of Posies

These pots were cut from some small scraps of acrylic ink on watercolor paper.  Years ago I played on full sheets of paper, and over the years I've used them for everything from book covers to artist trading cards.  The scraps are getting smaller and smaller, but nothing goes to waste.

Pots Galore!

 


Art Sparks 4 started today and I have lots more of Art Sparks 3!:  Pockets Full of Posies still to post.  The big book is all finished, though.

Posies in Pot-Pockets

 

This is one of my favorite pages in my book from Joanne Sharp's third pandemic class:  Art Sparks 3!:  "Pockets Full of Posies".

Good Thing I Saved That!

 


It feels SO good to use those old scraps of watercolor play.  That's not garbage, that's an "art bit"!  And it makes a rather unique vase-pocket to hold some posies.

Interactive and Never Finished?

 


My book from Joanne Sharp's third pandemic class:  Art Sparks 3!:  "Pockets Full of Posies" may never be finished.  Many of the flowers lift out of the pockets and it is such fun to sit and move the flowers around from page to page, creating new bouquets and arrangements.  I could always add some pen work too....

Some Old, Some New

 



We've been painting some new, and using some old "art bits"  in Joanne Sharp's third pandemic class:  Art Sparks 3!:  "Pockets Full of Posies".  This grass pocket is a gelli print from my stash.
