As the winner of the October challenge draw I get to choose November's theme - watercolour effect.  I hope you approve...if not, you can post some boo-messages and I'll change the subject... :)

There are a few tutorials out there (and on FHF), but you should not feel limited by the methods described in them - it's your own take on watercolours we'd like to see  :) It can be abstract, flowers, landscapes, anything that takes your fancy.

Here are links to a few tutorials for those interested:

Well, this one would be a challenge for me, at least. I've wanted to try to make a watercolour effect bead (or two). Hopefully I'll get some time to play this afternoon now that kids are back to school after half term....

Eeek, I'm a bit nervous now, waiting with anticipation for your response.....

Beautiful Colette!
Here's a focal from me - now owned by someone else! ;)

She's made of real glass. She got real real emotion. But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion!

Not fantastic and not cleaned, inspired by the changing leaf colours and seedy aeroplanes from a tree in my garden. They're a bit waterycoloured I thought.
