Tales of the riverbank

 This is my tag for "Tales of the Riverbank"


I used a Strathmore watercolor blank postcard base, and painted some waves using a Winsor & Newton navy blue watercolor.  When it was dry, I used a pencil to sketch the man's bust, the lettering, and the organic forms.  Then, I inked everything with Sharpie fine and medium pens.  Next, I rounded the corners to form a tag shape and punched a teardrop hole between them.  As an embellishment, I created a tassel using blue raffia strands, which I knotted with a scrap of off white twine.  I added 3 black and blue polymer clay beads that I handmade a while back to three of the raffia strands.

This was a fun postcard tag to make!

  9. Your tag made me think that often when I look at a tag that is pleasing to the eye I comment on colour and composition and technique and often without realising I am attracted to someones unique style! I love your unique style Arnold. PS Fab indigo blue colour!
