#FragmentFriday #F7 It is hard to believe this is the first time ever that I created a tile for Fragment Friday. I thought why not try a wonky grid, like perfectly coifed hair which is not my style, my grids tend to be on the messy or wonky side, no perfectly styled hair or tile for me! When it comes to tangling, making something that is fun to create is a must for me! I edited my photo of my tile in Photoshop Express adding an Overlay called Light Leaks L10 which added t...he sparkles to my already sparking tile! Long list of supplies used to create: I used a Blue IDenti Pen to tangle the fine lines with plus a Rose Art Colour Sharp Metallic Blue Marker to tangle the thicker lines then covered the Metallic Blue Marker up with a Pentel Blue Sparkle Pop Pen which added some much needed bling! Derwent Metallic Coloured Pencils in Blue went in some of the centres of the grid and Purple went in the other centres in the grid. Sliver Pentel Sparkle Pop Pen was added to the thinner grid lines outside each box shape within the design. White Pentel Milky Pop Pen went in between the skinny lines in each box shape for highlights. What a lot of supplies, eh? Yes, I am Canadian ! We like to say eh! So fun and relaxing creating for Fragment Friday!

Photo of a Blue Spruce tree I took today at Cardiff Park. I used Photoshop to make it into an oil painting, the only time you will see me do any oil painting. I tried oils on canvas and did not like the experience. I know that I will never do any real oil painting, it is not for me! What do you like to create with? Acrylics, oils or watercolours or anything else? It is warming up here in Alberta so I enjoyed time outside today taking photos, one of my passions!

I couldn’t’ stop seeing my February Full Moon wearing a bikini bottom! LOL! I enjoyed trying 4 Giving by Jody Genovese, I added my tangles Heart Thread Border and Plumeria. Loving my new Paul Rubens Opera Colours Watercolour Paints and Paul Rubens Pearlescent Watercolours! I love bling, bright and wild colours. Colour confidence? Nope, just plain old fun, having a ball creating with my newest art supplies! Now, who knows if the Full Moon loves a bikini? That is the q...uestion! The Full Moon often has a glow around it so this Full Moon has a wildly colourful glow! Can you imagine how this would look? I can and did! This was not planned, I just saw the string as a bikini bottom and so that is what the Full Moon is wearing! I will have to look at the Full Moon tonight to see if she is wearing a bikini bottom now that this has appeared to me?! See more
