Hi all! I know it's been unusually quiet here at Words and Pictures - my other creative life (Shakespeare/words/theatre) has been eating my time and energy.
Tonight, I've just got a sneak peek for you to tempt you over to PaperArtsy where I'm sharing some inspiration for this fortnight's Watercolours theme. Happily, I was able to fit in making this project before I set off for New York... otherwise I'd have been a no-show this evening, I fear!
I've been playing with salty watercolours and some of my PaperArtsy
Eclectica³ Alison Bomber quote stamps - old and new - to create bookmarks which might be more tempting to read than the book you're using them for!
The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.

I love watercolours too... And granulation (some of that later today!), I even have a bottle of Granulating medium from Winsor & Newton to enhance the effect. The salt does gorgeous things too, in these bookmarks!
Wonderful effects and quotes!
Best wishes for you!

What a lovely idea to showcase those lovely quotes. I played with salt on watercolours too, the effect is really good isn't it. I really like your bookmarks, I think I need to invest in some decent quality watercolours to get better results. Great inspiration Alison x

So many delightful quotes, the french ones I'm familiar with from my french education lol - it's still nice to see them in English occasionally!
The colours are ones that I connect immediately with you and knowing that that there will be plenty to absorb it's taken me a few days to get the time to come and give the post the attention it deserves.

These are absolutely gorgeous Alison I agree the granulations are stunning especially with the salt added and I love the way you embossed in two colours according to the background - these would be perfect for any book lover. Hope all is going well in NY. xxx
These are most impressive Alison. Love your watercolour effects... Fabulous result. Then your quote stamps on top - sure what more could anyone want to accessorize with their book. Hope NY going brilliantly for you. Nicola x
