I really get lost in creating backgrounds with my used, painted, messy cleanup paper towels from other projects. I have made lots of backgrounds for ATCs using this technique.
Here are a couple ATCs that are almost finished.
I wish I had taken before pictures of the background so you could see how the image appeared.
And I am sure you understand how that goes.
For me, I get this spark of inspiration and I just start playing.
The last thing on my mind was the camera since it was in the other room.

My prayers go out to all who are affected by Hurricane Irene, may you be safe!

That looks really fun! I like the shine of a glossy medium. And that face is beautiful!
You are doing a great job! These are all wonderful! I love the face and the hummingbird! Now for the other ones not finished yet, I will start with the very last one, I see crows and a river in the middle. The next one up from that, I see a face, top right hand corner. The next one up, I see a cat in the middle. And, the fifth one from the bottom, I see a landscape ;o) Take Care ;o)
These are just so Cool!!! I love those sunflowers too
