See no, Hear no, Speak no evil…

These three ATCs all began with “Speak No Evil” for the TMTA Turquoise swap this week. That really IS one of my favorite colors, even in clothing!

While I was working on the little Paper Whimsy (PW) girl with wings and her special halo from the snipped away parts of my favorite PW sunshine face, I got a spot above her lip….oh no….SO the butterfly fixed it and the rest is history. Instead of making one ATC for TMTA, I ended up creating these three.

My Lumiere paints along with Pearlescent Liquid Acrylics are two of my favorite paints these days. I paint a lot with my finger and when I have extra on it I usually smear it/wipe it onto bits of papers nearby. These papers get really interesting looking after a few projects. If you stamp lightly on them and perhaps smear a little gesso, it makes for nice decorative papers! I was using gesso on top of a plastic doily for another project recently and when I was finished, I turned the plastic doily over onto some of these random papers and ‘cleaned’ it initially by pressing it onto the scrap paper, and then washing it too of course = instant texture!

I found it interesting to read a little bit about the origins of this much recognized quote “See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil”.

I always thought of it as the #2 “Meaning of the proverb” explained here.

Whatever the ‘real’ meaning I sure had fun playing with these! Thanks for taking the time to visit!
