Oriental Starburst

The last Technique Junkies newsletter taught us how to make a Starburst background.

 This is a fun technique and a great way to use up DP you have on hand. I used Graphic 45 Bird Song DP.
  The image is from About Art Accents/Art Neko. I colored the image with Copics and added Crystal effects on the water so it has some shine to it. Her name is Ho Hsien Ku and she is one of the Eight immortals- more info on the store web site.

 Just back from a trip to China to visit my daughter- we spent two weeks there- and had a blast. I go back to work today : (

 We visited Beijing, Yangshuo, Shenzhen (where my daughter lives) and Hong Kong. In Beijing, one of the places we visited was the Great Wall- We met Katie in Beijing and her twin brother Chris came with us too!  We missed Stephi, but she had finals so could not join us : (

 A great Photo Op I could not pass up....... On the far Rt is a friend I met on Couch Surfing- Jinn- she studied in the US for a couple of years and offered to come with us- we had a blast- she is a delight!

 Here are the kids with Jinn.

 This is the view out of my window in Yangshuo at the Mountain Retreat.

 This is called Moon Rock- it is also in Yangshuo- it is a hike to get to the top- it was very very Humid there- but the scenery at the top was amazing, so well worth it!

Have a great day!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
