The EYE Has It

Ever since I can remember, I've doodled an eye. Not 2 eyes ... just one eye. I have tons of doodles and sketches through the years - some as early as my pre-teens - with just one eye.

I'm sure if I looked up the meaning of one eye - I could easily find the meaning of it...LOL

Well tonight, I was playing around with the 2.5 x 3.5 canvas (ATC size), and as usual,, while talking on the phone - I sketched my one eye.

This time though, I decided to see if I could take it a little further than a pencil sketch...and I tried my best to add color, using Twinkling H20's.

I don't know what I'm going to do with the other side, which is blank. I used some metallic rub on colors to ad least one down the white of the canvas - but for now - it will stay as is.

...and yes, I know there are no lashes .. that is where I totally destroy the eye(s)...I need to work on the lashes. Any tips out there for eyelashes??

Non Traditional Holiday Colors

This is my experimentation using non traditional holiday colors. I normally experiment with ATCs - a nice small surface, quick to paint...and of course fun to trade.

For both ATCs, I used an Aqua Brush and H20 Twinkling Luminare watercolors. For embellishments, I used some sparkly crystals from my scrapbook stash.
