Had some fun tonight, making little people again. Can't wait to send them out into the wild.

Heavy hot rolled watercolor paper, acrylic paint, micro 0.1 marker and acrylic markers.

From an idea with planets and watercolor to complete randomness with acrylic ink and stamps.

Ok so this was a weird 2 days, craft and mind wise. Maybe some of you have seen my tiny people cards. That evolved in 2 sets of cards with tiny people in space. So I wanted to try to make planets of some sort to put tiny people on. I took a sheet of heavy a3 watercolor paper and soaked it. I had the idea to make a background with watercolor and then make planets with the more manageable acrylic ink when the paper was dry. But one wrong move with a dripper and I had a big red steak over the paper. To make the best out of it I dropped more and other colors on it. I put some stamps with text that are just not readable on it and filled in any white spots with yellow. Oh and I also dropped alcohol on it during the first stage.

It's weird how sometimes stuff turns into something completely different. Trust the proces, I guess?

I'll guess I'm a sheep farmer now...

Another Insta find. Just a blob of paint, a black and white marker and all of a sudden you're a sheep farmer.

Finally had a fun thing to do with background cards I made some time ago: panda's!

I saw somebody making these cuties on Insta and had to try it. So I had some backgrounds I made ages ago so I tried some panda's. Pastel panda's 😄

Printing adresses, does anybody have experience with "TeddyPrint" printers?

I stumbled upon TeddyPrint portable Printers. And with some remarks about my handwriting, and the fact I have more and more problems with actually writing (joint pains) I thought it would be a good idea to print adresses from my phone. But I can't realy figure out if these little printers are able to print just adresses/text. Somebody with a bit more info, insight and/or answers? Maybe a tip for something else? I don't have a normal printer, so printing adres stickers is not an option.

"Your postcard to Australia has arrived! It reached it destination in 163 days after traveling 16,700 km!"

I started sending my 5 expired receivers a new card. It worked!

I found something new that tickles my brain. No idea if this can make into a nice cars.

Im on holiday and didn't take any stuff with me. So I spend way to much money on markers and paper, watched some Zentangle thingy on insta and got this, Amon others. But this one has only one mishap.

Does this work, color wise? I'm getting the idea something is of.

I had the idea to go top to bottem with a rainbow scheme with the "outer rings" and to the same bottom to top with the "centers". They meet in the middle and the middle would be completely yellow. I didn't like that so I tried to get the closest colors possible. But I can't figure out If it works or not.

Btw, loooove Hololu alcohol markers!

I try to understand acrylic inks. And so far, I got nothing. It's weird stuff.

200gsm watercolor paper with acrylic inks, a shtload of water, 3 days of drying, and some markers and stencils.

I did a thing. How did it turn out? The paint alone, as with the stamp, dont work alone. But I'm not sure about both together either.

What do you think?
