Assignment # 8: Found materials

Ah, right up my alley...free tools to create with! Er, uh, but not really the results I desired.
The materials I chose to use were tissue paper that I received when I purchased a mug this weekend, and some feathers my daughter found in the yard:
I decided to try acrylic paint and watercolors for medium and use the feather quill for the acrylic and the feather for the watercolor. Although not the smoothest application, it does work. Tissue paper, however was a bad choice (obviously), but it was a found material so I decided to press on...

Not my best work, by far, but it does work to create an image!
I decided to try watercolor on bristol paper to see if it was just the tissue paper and not the feathers being difficult.

The feathers made a very interesting image with watercolors, and again....Blogger does strange things to pictures when I try to upload them (such as flipping the image vertically).
