ICAD - Playing with Pens, Watercolour Brush Pens and Office Supplies

I've been trying new tools and supplies lately in creating my ICADs. For a few days, I decided to play with pens and zen doodle and create a few more "Girls with Funny Hats".

Zen Doodling...

 

Girls with Funny Hats...

Then I decided to switch tools and try some using my watercolour brush pens (which are really more like ink than watercolour, and I'm not yet convinced that I like them much). Here are the pens...

And here are the ICADs I created using them...

Chickens...

Squirrel eating my pears!

Zebra

Pear on my tree...

Mouse

And then I switched to using more office supplies...

I can't believe August is almost over and so is the ICAD challenge. It's been fun so far!

Paint Party Friday - Week 21 - Index Card Paintings

This week I again went back to creating index cards for my ICAD (Index Card A Day) project and had a mini Paint Party (holiday Monday here) with my daughters Katie and Ruth joining in, and my friends Deborah and Scott as well! They came over to have a swim, saw the paints and started to play too!

I still have red on my mind and paintbrush...

My pears are getting a little colour...

Imagining a sunset...

Imagining a moonrise...

Imagining the beach on the river...

If only my apple tree hadn't died...

and Deborah took her cards with her so I don't have them to show. 

A lovely, relaxing, unexpected Paint Party this week! Happy Paint Party Friday!

Paint Party Friday - Week 20 - Travelling Sketchbook and ICAD

Last week I received and sent off the June Travelling Sketchbook (between our mail strike and various issues for many participants, these are starting to be delayed on their monthly voyages). The idea for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Sketchbooks is to paint (and talk about) that month, so this is what I did for June in Carmen's book...

The cardinals have been singing like crazy here (and still are). It is wonderful to see glimpses of red in trees or on power lines or flying through the air. They have also inspired some of this week's index cards for my ICAD (Index Card A Day) project.

Have a wonderful Paint Party Friday!

Paint Party Friday - Week 19 - Cheerleading Octopi and a Journal Page

This week I went back to creating index cards for my ICAD (Index Card A Day) project,  playing with my Neocolour watercolour crayons some more and I also did another journal page for my Walking in my World Journal.

One of the silly ones I did last week was an Octopus Cheerleader. (Where the heck did THAT idea come from???) And - yikes! - this week brought more!

Cartwheels...

Star Jumps...

Splits...

Cheering jumps...

(Okay - I'm a little crazy this week....)

My grapes - getting larger...

Seagulls in flight...

A Mallard duck on the river...

Hope you had a great week and got some paint on your hands! Have fun at Paint Party Friday!

ICAD - Playing with Watercolour Crayons etc.

This week I continued my index cards for my ICAD project and played with my Neocolour watercolour crayons.

And those were my ICADs for this week.  A few days I wondered if I'd keep it up, but I did! How are you doing?
