hi there,
Audrie has inspired us once again with the wonderful Pinterest site called bowls...amazing and had me saying "WOW" quite a few times.
Today, my DH and I celebrate out 33rd anniversary and I needed a quick card since I had no time this week... picking the fern from my garden made for a simple card and it represented the home we have made together.
Keeping with the natural, pure look of the pottery, I picked a fern from my garden which are in abundance right now and sprinkled Brushos over it, sprayed with water and pressed it onto my paper. I then did a watercolor wash on the bkg and then added some splatters.
thanks for looking,

First of all, I am amazed and impressed that you created this beauty with a fern from your garden. I love your brusho creations, you have finessed the art of using them in a myriad of ways. With that said, you have truly captured the essence of the color and texture from the bowl that inspired you. Gorgeous!
P.S. I meant to say Happy Anniversary!
