Watercolor Luminaries

 Watercolor Luminaries

I needed a wow project to end a Summer Watercolor Class. Searched watercolor luminaries and didn't find anything.  Combined a few ideas, made a pattern.

Use a 9x12 watercolor paper

Lightly score the lines to make it easier to fold

Apply glue/adhesive to the tabs

Use a battery operated votive

Paint on it while flat to make it easier

End of the school year, closets get cleaned out, art room gets "new" stuff!  This box of blue cardboard turned into a felt organizer.

 I made this bell over 20 years ago to help with art room transitions.  This is his 2nd update.  He is a trusty assistant and the kids LOVE him.
