Echeveria
This time I dyed the Twinrocker sheet with coffee. It smells SO good now :)
Watercolor & acrylic ink on paper. 6" x 8"
I dyed a sheet with matcha (powdered green tea) and another with jamaica petals that await to be painted on. I'll show you those later this week.

Hello! I recently found your blog and have been enjoying your lovely illustrations. I just wanted to jot a quick note to let you know. : ) I love the colors in this one; the vibrant reds and blues against the coffee stained paper are lovely.
Oh this is spectacular!
GOR-GEOUS! Your use of white outlining and detail-marking is just spectacular, and oh so effective...
I DO really LOVE the colours and composition of this one, it's my favourite so far.
The coffee-dyed paper against the coral and jewel tones is fantastic. I especially love the white lines on the deep red leaves and the geometric birdsong.
i LOVE the way you've drawn the edging on the petals! very beautiul!
gorgeous!
Beautiful! I love the little white "stitches"!
I'm loving these deeper more jewel tone colors. Just gorgeous.
Gorgeous color, I think you're inspired by the new paints! Very rich & vibrant, and the paper color makes everything glow.
This looks wonderful!
Oh WOW. Love the white on the flowers, it honestly looks like it's stitched on.
Artwork thats scented? Bonus! :-P
The colours are beautiful! Very pretty lotus :)
I like the graphic representation of the bird song. It makes your painting more dynamic. Beautiful.
I'm very inspired by the colors you've been using lately. So beautiful!

Would you consider doing a tutorial on how you dye these papers? Or just some little instructions?
Great paper and the colours on this match perfectly. Love that shade of red!
Wow! You make these papers sound so delicious that I want to eat them.
Just lovely!

Colours, aromas and feelings together!

This twinrocker paper is beautiful! I will have to experiment with dying paper-what a good idea!As always your birds are gorgeous! Wish I could read bird language to know what she is saying!!
Beautiful! It's so wonderful you share so many details with us. It seems the new color palatte is of warmer tones. Quite lovely.
Take care!
Absolutely love the colors and can hardly wait for the green tea dyed one.
Gorgeous paper and painting! I love the use of acrylic ink in your paintings. PS: I hope you respond to your readers once in a while at least to make this blog a bit more interactive :)
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS! LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE SO DETAILED!
NIGHT NIGHT!

Ooo - this is my favorite so far! (Though it sounds like I might want to say that again very soon!)
Have you considered making fabric with your art at spoonflower.com? You upload your own art and pick a fabric to print it on. It would be very pretty! Made me think of you today when I saw a bird duvet in Pottery Barn...
Just beautiful. I love the vibrant colors!
Love the coffee dyed background! It really makes the colors pop.
I love the richness of the colours...just beautiful...
I love the paper it seems to fit with your beautiful watercolours so much better then a sraight edge - almost like we are getting a peice of your scrapbook :)

Lovely. Such beautiful work. The coffee colour contrasts so well with that of the birds.
wow, this is so pretty! The paper really adds a whole different dimension to your painting. I love how you are always trying new things-a visit here is never, ever boring!
You made my heart sing with this beautiful echeveria image! I have two at home, and I'm in love with their little pink flowers...
Incredible art. I love the way you paint your birds with detail in white. I use lots of dyed fabric in my sculptures, but think I need to incorporate some dyed paper now. Thanks for the inspiration.
