Supplies

Suggested supplies are listed below. However, do not let the lack of specific supplies prevent you from creating. Use the supplies that are available to you and enjoy the creative process.

a blue square tile and a white round tile – I’m using a blue card that I cut from a 300g A4 paper by Folia that I purchase locally (if you don’t have a tile cut out of a blue card stock, you can also color a white tile with dark blue watercolor),
spray bottle with water and liquid watercolors (I’m using Ecoline no. 580, 374 and 661), regular watercolors or a similar medium,
a white pencil or a graphite pencil to draw the string,
a craft knife (precision cutter) and a cutting mat for making the cuts,
paper glue and a wooden skewer or a similar tool.
blue Micron 01 or 05 pen a blue Gelly Roll Moonlight 06 or any desired blue water-resistant gel pen (I used shade #39780),
watercolor pencils for coloring and shading in turquoise range of colors, a dark blue and black (I’m using Faber-Castell’s Albrecht Dürer, colors 149, 153, 154, 155, 156, 199, 246, 247),
water brush for blending the watercolor pencils (such as Sakura’s Koi small water brush that I use),
graphite pencil and a gray marker (optional) for shading,
white colored / charcoal /pastel pencil (any that you prefer) and a white Gelly Roll for highlighting.
