Watercolor Bookmarks {Amy}

When I watercolor, I always end up with scraps. They’re usually long and thin, which makes them perfect for bookmarks.

I usually play around with things. They’re small, so there’s not a huge commitment. If I make something that was just… not what I meant to, well, I can toss it and not feel terrible.

Sometimes the resulting water is too pretty not to take a picture of before changing out…

To be honest, sometimes these are the most fun to do… I can get meticulous, or be sloppy, I can play around with combinations… or I can stick to what I know and work on shading… It’s a lot of fun for someone like me – who is playing by ear.
