So, Lisa, I don't recall hearing much about your famous tote bag lately. Is everything used up??
For today's WT, I used some very old decorative paper behind my painting, a sentiment I've never used, and a bunch of the red pearls. They're the type that you have to cut a strip of however many you want.
Also for yesterday's WCW challenge: as I'm painting this tree, I'm thinking 'this is really going to be one of the worst WCW challenges I've done. The sketching was tough; I did look up some drawing videos but they were either kindergarten or not intended for painting. I couldn't see what she was sketching very well. I sketched mostly triangular shapes, getting progressively larger, using some jagged, scribbly edges. When I started painting the needles and branches, that is when I got nervous. But, in the end, not too bad. I tried to use several shades of green and blue for the needles. I did use masking fluid, with some success. The ornaments/lights needed some shine so I used the Cosmic Shimmer, also for the snow. Splattered with the white acrylic paint. I have no idea why I painted a trunk but, since I did, I made the trunk go up the tree. After all, you'd still see the trunk. This was an adventure for sure.

Jean, your persistence paid off because this is one Beauty of a Christmas tree! I watched the video and said, no thank you. Wonderful snow and falling snow too~
