I'm trying the swirl or tree rings technique again today. I made a pretty good first attempt with my all-natural tree ring swirl but messed up the middle and got a few cells that I hadn't wanted. So today I'm trying another in blue and fingers crossed it turns out as intended.
The wood effect one was cool, but I do love my blues so today I'll be trying the same swirl technique with a variety of blues and seeing if I can get the paint to make those rings but without the cells. I think you can tell from the pictures, that I wasn't altogether successful in stopping the cells from forming!

![Brown Feathers Forking with Acrylic Paints [Fail]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TFFZVNQOaDU/mqdefault.jpg "Brown Feathers Forking with Acrylic Paints [Fail]
Our challenge set by Sarah of Bakerboo Paints was to use a monochromatic style color scheme, pour the paint in puddles, then tilt and then use a fork to create a design. My idea of feathers didn’t work out because I made my puddles too large and there wasn’t space between them for the ‘feathery-bits’. So I thought I could do better. I might have been wrong about that.
