Every once in a while I dig out watercolour paper, food colouring, plastic wrap, salt and a tub of water and I create backgrounds. I enjoy having them on hand to use. This is one of them. I could just picture this lovely lady (with the amazing posture) sitting outside on a bench allowing nature to do its business around her while she watches. This is my entry for this week's Craftaway-a-Sunday challenge.

I love butterflies and I love the wash of colour you get when you use food colouring...it's gorgeous Heather!
Wow - This is so fabulous. i threw away a whole batch of food colouring last week because it was passed its useable date but I am sure it would have been fine for artwork. I will know better next time! Great artwork- again!
This is so pretty, Heather...love your wee butterflies.
Beautiful Heather, SO beautiful!
Fabulous, really beautiful background and isn't she charming, waiting so nicely and so prettily for whatever comes along.
OH Heather, She AND her background are exquisite!!! You have the magic touch! oxo
Eye candy Heather. Fabulous colors and I love what you did along the edges. Fabulous
The colours on this are amazing, Jaqi
Love this Heather, your background is so vibrant and rich, fantastic.
Gorgeous!! I do the same as you...every once in a while making a batch of watercolor backgrounds. I don't know the saran method? but just dip my watercolor paper in a bath of a little water and watercolors swirled in. Out in the sun they go to dry...and then I pick which ones I'm in love with...=) and they are ready to play with.
OMG this is FAB! can you not show us EXACTLY how you do that background??? it's stunning Heather, thanks for playing.
