Well, here I am posting last week's IF just hours before the next word comes out! This little illustration was made by pressing plastic wrap into wet watercolour and ink. When it dried, I thought the markings left by the wrap looked like a thorny thicket and when I looked more closely I found lots of different faces in there which I then developed with coloured pencils - I hope you can see them too and it's not just my imagination!!
Nice! I like!
ReplyDeletewonderful texture!
ReplyDeleteIt's like a dream,
I can see all of them!
the faces, caroline...at first i didn't see them and then one after another, each with his/her own emotion and depth. this is just terrific. it strikes me that the faces kind of found you rather than the other way around.
ReplyDeletei love all the mediums that you employ. i wish i could watch you in your studio!
love

Nice effect! It took a minute but I found the little faces!
ReplyDelete:)
Love this Caroline, the blue tones, the little faces, the texture. I'm finding it hard to get IF done in time too!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. The faces were such a surprise. I first looked at the beautiful color and saw the texture. Then the faces jumped out at me. It was rather exciting.
ReplyDeletegreat work. Very interesting and original.
ReplyDeleteWow! All in one color......!!!
ReplyDeleteAll those faces entangledin that blue wood! I saw them straight away.
Great take on that word!
Received your book today! Such beauty inside!
I will have to get an idea first but it will pop up soon as colors is such an inspiring theme!
I will just start by cutting the right size I expect the rest to follow by itself!

Wow! So beautiful even in mute blue finished.

Love the expression of the many facet of the faces.
Hugs to you Caroline!
Happy weekends and how are you into Christmas shopping!?
I love it-the trees have eyes....
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Caroline - dig the texture and flow of colors.
ReplyDeleteSUPERB! Absolutely! I see faces everywhere. I see them in walls, ceilings, floors, crumpled paper, clouds, bark, tree trunks, leaves, any surface. There are faces. You rendered this perfectly. You are prolific and your FPOT is one busy busy organ.
ReplyDeleteOH, CAROLINE! How genius! Boy, do I want to take an ice pick or large hedge trimmers and bust these people outta there. Amazing piece!
ReplyDeletethis is outstandingly good, would work well for the 'crunchy' theme this week too.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece!!
ReplyDeleteI can see many faces...looks like fragments of different peoples lives are entangled in a mesh. Very poetic :)
