Craft of the Week: Paint Pen Artwork

I had seen this idea in Family Circle, but thanks to Posed Perfection, I now have the confidence to try it. I’m thinking it might be great to use pictures of ferns or leaves and make a whole bunch of them to hang in a grid. You’ll be the first to know how it turns out! But in the meantime, how would you use this technique? All it requires is a picture, a frame with glass, some colored paper and a paint pen. You could trace pictures of objects, like keys, cameras, or bikes…any kind of botanical of course…designs like paisley prints or fleur de lis…birds (like owls)…for a kids’ room, you could trace pictures from a coloring book of animals, or cars and trucks. Hmmm…there are lots of possibilities. I love craft ideas that are so adaptable, don’t you?
