Tag it Tuesday
I began this tag with an inspiration piece in mind and created the background using a watercolor technique combined with a salt reaction. Watching the salt interact with the wet paint to form unique textures and patterns is always fascinating—it brings an element of unpredictability. As the background developed, the evolving textures sparked new ideas, shifting the creative direction mid-process. It’s amazing how these unexpected changes can lead to a final piece that’s even more dynamic and unique than originally envisioned!
Starting with the tag and painting the background with watercolors that were inspired by a small ephemera piece, I added salt to the paint and let it dry.

The visual textures on this finished tag are truly amazing. The interplay of colors and the unique patterns created by the salt reaction add depth and character, making the design come alive. Each detail draws the eye, showcasing the beauty of organic, unplanned artistry. It’s a piece that invites you to look closer and appreciate the layers of texture and creativity.
