Title:  Blending with Markers Technique

 Technique 2a

Blended Pigment from Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Markers Directly on Watercolor Paper

 This was interesting.  I covered all the flowers with Spun Sugar.  Then, I colored the edges of the flowers with Picked Raspberry.  Finally, I used the Spun Sugar marker to blend the two colors.

 Technique 2b

Blend Markers on Craft Sheet

Following instructions, I layed down some Picked Raspberry marker ink on my craft paper.  Then, I dipped the brush tip of my Spun Sugar marker in the Picked Raspberry ink "puddle".  Once the two colors had blended on the Spun Sugar marker tip, I applied the Spun Sugar marker to my tag.

 Technique 3

I colored directly to the rubber stamp.  I colored the main body of the peacock with Chipped Sapphire marker and the tail with Peacock Feathers marker.  I colored the beak and legs with Gathered Twigs marker.  I blended the edges of the Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers.  I stamped a piece of lightly glazed cardboard and let the watercolor peacock dry for several hours.  I then glazed then entire tag with Vintage Photo ink which proved to be not dard enough, so I recolored withWalnut Stain and then used the spritz and flick technique.  Analysis:  Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers colors are so close to being the same color, I should never have used them right next to each other.  After I glazed the entire tag, I could no longer tell the difference between the two colors even though I vigorously buffed the tag.
