OMAE: watercolor + doodles BIRD swap

how about an easy going w/c (or any water-y painterly technique) plus doodles BIRD swap? if you want to try watercolors for the first time, this might just be a great place to start.

i used lots of water for the above sample and the blobs of paint come alive with the added doodles! i also used a pilot hi-tec gel pen, so the ink would run with added water. a heavyweight paper (130-140lb) would be good.

w/c+doodlesbirdswap

let's swap 1 doodley-bird to one partner. this could be an atc, a postcard, or another piece of happy mail. sender's choice.

send items in a decorated/creative envelope, along with a note indicating what swap they are for.
