A big "hello" to all my fabulous friends! I am excited to share my little whimsical bookmark I created for my iCopic DT and some bookmarks I created for Nicecrane Designs. I selected the adorable little Penny Johnson image by Stampavie called Sweet Dreams.
Copics: G28, YG63, G40
When I was taking my Standard and Intermediate Copic Certification classes with Marianne Walker last November, I smile as I remember her saying, - "Marie, you learned you lessons well. You are doing an excellent job with Copics and you learned all the rules. But your work is boring. People will not keep their eyes on it for an extra long time. Now you need to break the rules"! Wow! OK. So I have looked at many different people's work and tried to find ways to "break the rules.
I decided to add some "fun and whimsy" to my work. I grabbed a 0.3mm Olive Copic Multiliner and started doodling. It feels fun and carefree to do this and gives an interesting little effect to the image. You can use the same color or change colors and provide greater color variations. Maybe you will want to mix it up! Either way - it's fun to just see all the different and crazy things you can do with Copic markers and multiliners!
I created these children''s bookmarks from some adorable images from Nicecrane Designs.
I think these little images would look just great in a Mother Goose book for children. They are fun and so easy to make!
I will link this to:
Make it Monday
Thank you for stopping by and visiting awhile! Come back soon.
Hugs,

I love these bookmarks - all of them. All due respect to Marianne, but I have never seen a thing boring in your "works of art". I aspire to be half as good as you. Hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is out of this world and the images are so cute!

Not sure 'boring' is the adjective I would use to describe your work, Marie. I guess in the end, it's how you feel personally about your creations but you have been and will continue to be a source of inspiration for me, no matter what or how you decide to create.
