Lotus-Born Happy Humpback Whales

 I'm sharing a pencil coloring I've completed today!

The title will be self-explanatory when you view the pages below.

I'm so very intrigued with this artist's imagination!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE whales 

and am very concerned for their plight from Japanese whalers.  

It really saddens me. 

This is the very first time that I've used Prismacolor colored pencils!

They feel like 'silk' as they glide along the page.

I watched several online videos from different artists

and learned a few techniques, like blending and shading. 

I'm completely AMAZED at what colorless blending pencils can do!

They turn an otherwise streaky pencil coloring 

into a smooth 'painting'!

WOW!

I really LOVE this new-found LOVE!

Now, let's look at some really close ups

and let me share my thoughts with you.

I decided that the 'unborn' whales would be swimming 

in luscious purple colored water with aqua bubbles.

Some of the bubbles were given 'reflection' by using a white gel pen.

The gorgeous lotus flowers are colored in 

three blended-together shades of purple.

Look closely at the explosion of water.

I made sure that purple water turned into aqua water. 

I just LOVE the tiny baby whales emerging from the water.

I thought that this 'surprise', in one of the lilies, was a tin can, 

to symbolize trash in our oceans. 

However, I recently learned that it turns out to be an

 "Egyptian God" on a piece of stone! LOL

I really enjoyed shading the lily pads in two different greens.

Why color a frog green when you can color it red instead?

Thanks for stopping by and viewing my pencil coloring!

Have a great day,

Vicki's Pocket Tag

I've made a tag for my sister

 that has a pocket on the back 

that holds a special card for her.

I chose Blue Fern Studios "Bird Waltz" paper collection.

Such a beautiful collection of muted; blurred images,

as well as very crisp & vivid ones.

I cut ReneaBouquets Beautiful Board "Cathedral Elements" 

to the desired distressed shape.

It's sprayed with Lindy's Starburst color "Whale Watch Blue",

 which happens to be a favorite of mine with its blue-gray color.

A couple of Wild Orchid Crafts flower arrangements and

pretty Want2Scrap baby blue rhinestones are adhered to the piece.

The back of the tag has a pocket to hold a card

for a special thank you note to Vicki.

I added a few Mother of Pearl rhinestones to line the pocket at the top.

Here's a couple more photos that I took of the tag.

Thanks for viewing Vicki's pocket tag!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

2021 just HAS to be a better year.
