Today I was inspired to work with watercolor pencils and pens...MUSHROOM DAY!  I love fungi, there are just so many shapes and colors.  I decided to work in miniature, so I drew a full watercolor page of 9 mushrooms.  It is so interesting to draw with the colored pencil, and then see the color come alive when you touch water to it!  I chose some of my favorite mushrooms, some of which grow in our yard.  Then I decided to make it all into a tiny book...it is 3 inches by 3 inches.  It is so much fun to just play occasionally, and not take yourself too seriously.
