Before launching into another series of prints made with my newly-released 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small, I'm excited to share news of something that I've just discovered. I'm not into fabric arts myself, but I gather that a number of us art enthusiasts are dabbling both in the fabric arts and paper arts. For those focusing on the fabric arts, here's a gem-of-a-find. Ta-da! -- it's a Cutterz Ring. It strikes me as such a creative and brilliant idea that I just had to give its mention top priority today!
Now comes a parade of art samples developed with my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small as well as, where noted, my 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees....

The print directly above, done with acrylic paints on watercolor paper, is just the first step in what will become a multi-layered piece.
Below is a series of prints, numbered in progression, all made with my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small. Since acrylic paints dry rapidly, these layers were quick to build up:

| Above: First layer of prints using my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small. |

| Above: Second layer with my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small |
The photo below shows the third layer; in this layer, I started to include the use of my 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees:
Studying this 3-part progression in hindsight, I've come to the unhappy conclusion that the second layer is where I should have stopped!
But because I didn't stop back at the second layer, I now face a challenge -- I need to continue adding layers, hoping to see a final version that will satisfy me!
One thing I've learned, in these happy years of working with my StencilGirl stencils and masks, is that there's one person I want to please with my final artworks. Moi!
