Fun ideas. Loved the flower, and the hidden heart in the mushroom stem. Who knew?

Great stuff! I would have liked to see some finished artwork in which mark making has been incorporated.

Flora makes a really great right in the beginning when she describes cardstock and esp. typing paper as "un-precious". The is esp. true compared to a ready-to-use canvas or other painting substrate. I've seen stamping with a cut potato shape and a celery end before. I think the celery does need to be somewhat more open. I have to say, I love that the "failed experiment" with the twig was kept in this final edit of the demo. No doubt some things I try mark making with won't all make something interesting. I would have liked to see what she does with the pine needle cluster, because I have a couple different pine trees in my yard. (Or did I happen to look away when she tried it?) Really like the corn cob marks and the center portion of the Portobello mushroom (not the stem). Although, I don't think I could stand using such fresh food as both of her mushrooms for painting and over ripened mushrooms might be kind of gross to paint with. This class definitely has me thinking more "outside the box" about what might make interesting patterns. I'm looking forward to trying water coloring once the snowy weather returns to where I live, and using such unique instruments as shown in this video I think will be fun to combine with water coloring.
