This is literally junk. Or at least it was before I got my black paint out. I’d been using cotton buds to put blobs of colour on the top of some acrylic paint bottles so I could quickly see which was which. And then I’d wiped the excess paint off onto a piece of card; by the time I was finished the card was covered in swipes of colour and now, of course, I couldn’t throw it away.
Some time later, when I was getting tired of seeing it lying around on my desk, I decided to do something with it. So I got out my black paint and set about blocking out some abstract curvy shapes. Then I added a gold shape in the centre, and finished it off with some white outlining with a Posca paint pen and a gold border.
It was an interesting experiment and there are some bits — particularly the leaf-like shapes — that I really like.

Interesting. So you just wiped your cotton ball that had some left over paint on it onto a piece of card stock? Interesting texture. Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Cotton bud – Q tip – just wiped off onto a spare piece of card. Lots of random streaks of colour with some of the white card still showing through. I hate wasting anything!
