How to Make a Tape Resist Flower Pattern

Long, long ago, on a planet far, far away, I made a watercolor tape resist flower project. It was fun, and people loved and adored it. Well, at least I did.

Here’s another one! In pattern form. Who likes patterns? I do!

I made this as part of my 100 day project challenge, and here’s what I did:

Grabbed a piece of 5×7 Strathmore Printmaking paper
Ripped up little pieces of blue painter tape (I love obsessive art projects)
Made tape flowers
Watercolored in red, yellow, orange
Went back in with watercolor to darken up some areas
Let it dry somewhat
Peeled off the tape (totally satisfying)

I’m not thrilled about this one, but that’s part of #the100dayproject – making something every day and sharing it and owning it and dealing with your ego. The process is fun! (Tape resist watercolor)
