I started this 8.5x11 inch ZIA last week, adding a little here and there. It was almost done when I accidentally spilled my tea on it Sunday night. Thanks to some excellent advice form Facebook friends, I rescued it. I added white & metallic gelly roll pens, white and black charcoal pen, gold and some gold and tan Prismacolors. I also added Margaret Bremner's Dansk pattern so I could submit it to the Diva challenge this week. It turned out to be a happy accident.
I'm so glad you rescued it, it's gorgeous! I love the textures and depth this one has.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece! If we didn't know about the accident, we would be asking how you did the background.....very cool. The colors are very striking!
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told us, I would have never suspected tea spillage. It is gorgeous and I might have to steal your new method....lol
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous....in every way!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous....in every way!
ReplyDeleteHaving seen the tile before its "rescue" have to say that what you did is phenomenal. I agree with Sue that it did not know would have gotten questions about how you created the background. Reminds me a little of the way you distress things in modeling.
ReplyDeleteLucky accidents do happen sometimes and this is absolutely one of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful accident!
ReplyDeletewow, I am goin to spil tea all over the place.
ReplyDeleteis beautyfull!!!great great depht!
See what accidents can do. A piece of art so beautiful. Do another.
ReplyDeleteCris! I LOVE this! There is so much variation with all the gradations of tone but it all gets unified with the sparkling white accents. The tangle combinations are spectacular! Everything flows and that beautiful flower like piece in the center calls my eyes to it seeming to rule the creation in my opinion. Love the three "water" dots up above. My, my. What a delightful piece. I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I'm glad you rescued it and shared this beautiful artpiece with us. Love the colors and tangles you used. The pearls they look very realistic. Well done :)
ReplyDeleteThis is marvelous. Nothing on here looks like an accident.
ReplyDeleteGood recovery! It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful Cris. I like how it looks so distressed. The colour works perfectly. You are a master tea spiller. :))
