Monochrome

The Challenge this week on Lots to Do is to make something that is monochrome.  Whilst we often think of monochrome as black and white it really means "one colour/tone" or as Wikipedia says

"Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or shades of one color.  A monochromatic object or image has colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Monochrome images in neutral colors are called grayscale orblack-and-white. "Monochromatic light" refers to light of a narrow frequency."


Here is my effort which is a pre stamped image that I found today in my stash when clearing some things up.  I used my Twinkling H2o's to colour the image in as I am still suffering with this virus and needed to do something that was relaxing.  The blues I have used are:  True Blue, Blue Flame, Bolivian Blue and Stargazer.



Whilst tidying up I also found this card which I must have made a while ago when I dabbled with Encaustic Art.  I think this also falls in the "Monochromatic" table too.


Running to the wire again with my entries - perhaps next week I can do something a bit earlier in the week - but hey, it's Altered Art - mmm... maybe and maybe not - probably the wire again.
