Pink and Blue Swirls

This project was begun a couple months ago. This is the end result. Ta-da!!!!

It began like this.

I used a 9" X 12" sheet of Canson watercolor paper,

plenty of water in a spray bottle,

and Dylusions Ink Sprays - 

bubblegum pink and london blue.

I love the colors I can get with the Dylusions - so much fun!

Some of those round places - like the blue one just below the center -

was made by holding a heat gun straight down

above a wet puddle of color - 

until it dried.

Here is a link to my tutorial on using Dylusions.

This is the same blob of color - tangled.

Look how I divided up the sections and drew patterns on them.

That's what I did with the whole sheet.

Wherever I felt tangling needed to happen - it did.

This section is on the right, about halfway up.

This section is towards the middle,

but for the life of me I can't tell if this photo is

turned the wrong direction or not.

Just keep tangling and pretty soon 

you will turn this . . .

. . . into this.

I promise!

If I can do it - you can, too.

All you have to do is start.

And if you don't have Dylusions - 

I started with a simple watercolor pan set

from the school supply row in Wal-Mart.

They make some pretty beautiful artwork, too!
