A small piece of outer space...?

My granddaughter asked if the inks wouldn't make a cool stars and planets and comets type of sky.  So I gave it a try.

This one is a great big 11x14 and was great fun pushing that much ink around.  I had pics I found on Pinterest to inspire me.

This one is a little 4 x 6 with some fine glitter sprinkled over the orange nebula.  

I tried a little of everything in this one...planets, comets, and sprinkles of stars...

Beach Themes....love them

We spend time at the beach in Rhode Island every summer, and at the CT. beaches when we can. 

These yearly trips make for lots of inspiration.   Pushing around the inks to make interesting skies is great fun.  I used liquid mask to make a clean spot to put in the seagull.

The mask idea worked here for the pelican, too.  Really had fun making a vibrant sky and trying to get some reflection in the water.
