WOYWW 820

Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.


I have joined JoDitts new website.  From a free colouring sheet, I took a heart, edited it so the black was white and designed the rest.  I am never sure about colour, possibly I should have a lighter colour in the background.


I googled "text boxes" so I could add some to digital lettering.  I found one I liked at Freepix.  I added some colour to the little squares surrounding the box and the centre.   I used these text boxes in the the collage below.


 
Most Bibles use the word Leviathan, meaning large creature or monster, but I found a translation that used "Whales". I am pretty sure if any of the ancient people had seen a whale they would think it a monster! Did you see a whale take in a man and his boat into it's mouth on the TV?  He got spit out again, but he must have been terrified.

The whales were cut from wrapping paper and they are years old. I thought they were just two big and made smaller ones (at the top), but I decided to use them.


I used a stencil for the background in several different colours. Initially I was thinking of a forest of kelp, but when I turned the background on it's side I thought it made a great seascape.


I like this stencil so much I haven't done any more to this one.



This one is on my desk at the moment, I just need to do a verse to finish it.

That background is fabulous, what colours did you use for it please?
Love your whales, very realistic and not too large at all. Makes for a lovely picture.

My comment didn’t seem to work so this is a repeat. Hour seascape is lovely, both with whales and with seashells. Yes the modern man swallowed by whale was incredible.
Happy WOYWW, hugs Lynnecrafts 1 xx

Gorgeous projects today. I love the stencil pattern, looks great and I can understand why you didn't want to add anything else to it. Thanks for asking too, I think I'm about normal again now...whatever that is but it did seem to take it's time going away. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x14x

PS: Thanks for the colour game - I'm terrible at it, but I'm going to do it everyday to hopefully become better! I've always been terrible at mixing colours to get the one I want! Lindart

I am awful at mixing colors! I have classes on color theory and my eyes glaze over! I am one of those, "If I put them together and they look good..." kinda girl!
Your colors and composition are fabulous!
Sorry for the tardy visit! Have a fabulous week!
Hugz,

Love your seascape! I saw the article about the whale swallowing the kayaker. Luckily he was none the worse. We have seen lots of whales but thankfully from larger boats!
Happy WOYWW! Susan #10
