here is the pansy envelope. you can see that it is warped by the humidity and it has been living in air conditioning. that's how soggy it is here. so, we had the storm that freaked out our internet connection and TJ just restored it. the nice people on the phone said that we are eligible for an upgrade which would allow me to upload faster. that would be good. i never would have thought of such a thing.
making the pansies is easy. they have five petals. the largest one points down then you make two smaller ones that head off to the side and slightly down and then you add two more on the top, like ears. then you take a darker color and make a small line radiating out of the center. finally, you do very fine outlines in black.the leaves are simple dashes and you give shape to them with the outline.
the secret is to leave little gaps here and there. some of the petals don't touch. the outlines are a little sketchy.
