Project Pack 22 - Day 2 - 5 Spirals
The video for this lesson is here .
In the second lesson, Molly and Martha show us how to complete a pre-strung, 5xPhive tile. This project uses all the the tools that came in the project pack to decorate 5 spirals arranged in a wreath.
I am starting to get the hang of working over the Moonlight ink with graphite and the white chalk pencil. The main conclusion that I’ve come to is to let that ink get good and dry! Since I live in Arizona, where it is hot enough to bake cookies on your dashboard in the summer… letting the ink sit undisturbed over night did the trick. Shading and highlighting was more succesful this time!
Since I tend to draw all the way down to the tiniest iteration at the center of the spiral, I have to say that filling in the tiny spaces with the moonlight ink presents some challenges. However, I discovered that I could use a tooth pick to grab ink from a puddle in a bigger place and dab it into most of the itty bitty spots.
You may notice that my color combinations are slightly different from the video. I grabbed the wrong color pen at one point, so I adapted the other spirals to compensate.
This tile was bigger, and complex. It took me several days to complete. However, I think it was time well spent. I love the results!
