Dina is the reason I'm obsessed with mixed media. I remember watching her from afar - fangirl - and noticing that no matter what her medium, she almost always added pencils. Seems simple, but I was just not used to using pencils + markers, pencils + watercolor. So glad to be the beneficiary of her talent. So for her Hope You Can Cling To challenge today, I decided to add a little pencil to my watercolor resist as an homage. Just a smidge of Payne's grey to keep my teapot from floating, but I like it.
The image is an ancient one from Dream Gardens and the sentiment is from Tea Shoppe.
