posting along with kristin and eva and 

all of the other creative folks at paint party friday

day 14

29 faces

monoprint of the traditional japanese talisman,

maneki-neko

often seen in the entrance of places of business, shops and  restaurants

to beckon customers and good luck.  the calligraphy is an 17th century

coin signifying wealth.

first i made a wire form

so you can see the size

after printing it in black ink on the press i colored it in with these acrylic pens.  

it was like paint by numbers.

i made another print and am thinking i might 

paint it in an untraditional way.

day 4, 29 faces

self portrait in watercolor, pastel,

wire on watercolor paper
