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)
