Happy Year of the Rabbit


This flying bunny is done in watercolours in my Hand book.

Chinese New Year is Feb 3 and it will be Year of the Rabbit.

Black Gesso with chalk stamped designs, masking tape and acrylic paints and Year of the Rabbit postage from Canada Post



Seth Apter has a wonderful blog with lot of collaborative art. I participated in "The Pulse" in which he solicited a large group of artists to find out what they were up to and in to. The latest addition is Collections and I am in the latest group shown here. Thanks Seth for all your inspirations to make a community for mixed media artists. :)


I have been playing around with lots of techniques and ideas and having a blast in my journals.

Background is done in acrylics the girl drawn with ink dropper, then I coloured her with Pan Pastels.

Revisited journal cover adding lots of textures.
Used paper towels, bees wax, ripped text pages and a stencil.

Tracing over images pressing really hard to de-boss my journal page underneath and then using Pan Pastels to highlight the lines. FUN!
