Measurements: -image panel - 2 ¼ x 3 ½” plus 1/16 and ¼” borders, large rectangle, 1 7/8 x2 5/8” plus 1/16” border, small rectangle – 1 13/16 x 2 3/8” plus 1/16” border
A swirl clip...I haven't used one of those in years but I'm determined to use up some neglected supplies in 2011.
The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils using the blender pencil #1077. I bought it as a single pencil but it was also sold in a package of two, singles were less expensive. To give you an idea of how it blends, only black pencils was used on the black and grey pig. I felt that the pencils are used more for the blending than with the baby oil or mineral spirits. The pencil is so much nicer than paper stumps for small areas.
All layers and the fibers tied on the swirl clip are ink distressed.
I thought the hardware was a little to silver so I colored it with caramel colored alcohol ink and a cotton swab. In real life it looks betterÂ…it the photo it still looks very silver.

So delightful, I even squealed like one of these guys (on the inside; I'm not overly vociferous on the outside in these manners!!) I have never seen or even knew these blender pencils existed Rox. Where did you pick yours up?
