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!
