is L. I didn't want to do the obvious and after skimming through my dictionary I decided to do...Lattice!
I decided with this challenge I would use some watercolor pencils I recently purchased. Although for the lattice wall, and the ground I used Distress inks. I did use a stencil to make the lattice on the wall. Everything else I drew and colored with the pencils.
I made the L and made the traditional lattice design on it. I colored this with traditional colored pencils.
I put the dictionary definition in the doorway as I thought it was a fun place to put it. With a Sharpie Pen I drew some birds as the sky looked too empty.
I had fun doing this and trying some new things. Can't wait to find out what the next letter will be!

beautiful pages!
ReplyDeleteA clever choice of word for the letter L. I like that definition living in the arched doorway. The page has a lovely warm feel to it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I must remember this idea and steal it for the lattice word in my dictionary! I love it. Putting the word and definition in the doorway is another great idea. The flowers are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good word! Great composition too.
ReplyDeleteGreat word to use for your lovely page.
ReplyDeleteThe definition in the doorway is definitely a winning choice, it looks like you could be enduring a secret garden through it! Very pretty page. Lou x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word and use of your new watercolor pencils. The lattice is beautiful, and you did such a great job. I like the idea Lou had of a secret garden behind the lattice wall. It is gorgeous. The use of the definition behind the arch is wonderful, too. All in all, a super entry.
ReplyDeleteYes the archway highlights the definition, a very good idea! Excellent lattice work too. Enjoy your new pencils, they are the most most versatile colouring medium in my craft stash!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful choice of word and a very colourful scene.
