Flying used to be exciting for me.
After numerous moves...
and 5 hours of a rough flight through snow storms this past year...
...flying has lost its novelty.
I just want to get there.
Of course, there could be worse ways to travel.
How cute are these birds' expressions?
It took me numerous tries to get this scene.
I stamped the birds in Memento ink first (Copics bleed with my Staz on),
and then I colored them.
I found that stamping the cage with Staz On looked richer than stamping with Memento...maybe because the ink is sitting on Copic coloring.
Weird, huh?
My first few tries, I stamped the cage FIRST with Versamark (it left an almost invisible impression)..so I knew where to place the birds.
However, practice DOES make perfect, because by the oh, sixth or seventh time of doing this scene..I didn't need the imprint.
I knew where to place the birds by heart.
Hrmph.
Thanks for stopping by today, it warms my heart. ;)
