Fais de beaux reves...

    I stumbled on these india ink and watercolor 
paintings I did a few months ago.  Playing around 
with different media is really fun and a great way to
fuse inspiration.  Hand cut and purchased rubber stamps
helped to create a dreamlike world for this little gal.  
Stickers, gems, flowers and other kid-like goodies like 
glitter can really make my heart beat faster.  
Silly but true.
So from this I was inspired to paint these two, 
which are a little more serious and sophisticated.  
Like the way they came out a little ghost like?  
India ink sort of gives that look.  Still not super confident with it.  
Memories of high school calligraphy class and pools 
of flubbed ink may have instilled the fear!  Maybe it's just my antique pens. 
Love them, but maybe it's really time to find another method.  Micron pens work well 
but it's hard to get the varied line quality.  Pentel brushes are a bit testy and tend to go 
a bit too bold for my style.  I know I have asked before on twitter but anyone know an alternative?
Until next week, sweet dreams....u-u zzzzzZZZ
