CHILL POPSICLES

Hi friends!

Playing along with this FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES

(ends 7/6)

Happy to finally get this set out and use it! When I make a purchase I like to write out a little Post It to include in the storage envelope stating the price, location and date purchased. I find it incredible this could’ve been from a 2023 purchase - what?!! Maybe I wrote the date wrong 😂

 

These popsicles didn’t come with indentations so I just cut some thin strips, rounded the corners slightly, and covered them with gel medium after I had pasted them down. I used a scissor to take a bite out of the orange one for interest, and added the white gel pen to the corners for an illusion of dimension. I used a little brown ink and a blender brush to get some shadowing on the sticks, and added some white gel pen to the tips. I backed both popsicles with some heavyweight scrap card and then put the orange one on foam tape as well.

I used the scalloped circle to suggest a modern paper doily by using a Crop-a-dile to punch holes around the edges as shown. The sentiment is triple mounted for some dimension.
