Hi June,
I painted the waterdrop circle in soft pastel with the tool set at 9%.Then at the same setting I put in the "smile". The pastel was darker blue than the background. Next I chose the palette knife tool at 50% at a blur setting and a hard pressure--ran that over the 1/2 inch image for the blur effect a few times. the finishing touches the two small white curves within the circle top and bottom, not blurred.
It was great fun! I can see myself using it when I do flowers. Of course the drops will be a lot smaller. But that is what magnification is for, right?
Thank you, very much,
Sue
