Some of the black & white papers mentioned the other day.
I’m making a stack of random papers - Kraft packing paper, book text, some vintage things, and every kind of white paper in my house. Then when taking a break from cleaning/organizing, I use the collection of black pens to make marks. I need to look at my Pinterest & Instagram saved posts to try some new marks.
Everyone’s papers look so great, I love the handmade mark-making!
Beautiful collages @geekgirl, the gold really sets them off perfectly!
I love all of your marks…looks like you will have loads of fine papers to work with in 2024 (and beyond!).
It’s becoming a problem. I love to make the papers but I only use a small amount.
Excellent pages. These b&w pages are my favorite. I need to get some old book pages - love the combo of the marks on top of typing.
I started messing about with this during the week
Not sure it’s done yet,I did add some splatters after this picture but they don’t show very well so I may go back over again
That’s so pretty! I especially like the soft colour blends and layering.
Hi everyone,
Is there a Zoom this evening? If so, where might i get the link? Thank you!
No there is no zoom meeting today. We haven’t planned the next one.
Ok thank you!
The latest in my explorations into arty mess-making!
There’s a lot of purpley / pinkiness coming up because I put down too much paint for what I needed and well - waste not, want not! (Probably not anytime too soon, some things are not speaking to me!)
I really like the colors! And the white circles definitely add to the piece.
They were the last addition that kinda made me think - Ok, I’m done here. Before that, there has been a lot of pondering about what to do to make it… well anything.
There is another piece that is in timeout because at the moment, i’s just “meh”
These are generally pieces that usually start during long, listening only work meetings!! (Shhh, my laptop & mouse keep getting paint over them…), so they have no specific goal.
It’s just a way to get started really
It’s a great way to get started! This piece is really pretty!
Love the colors and those circles!
Oh I love these. You’ve got great value distribution.
I like these a lot!
So that first set was 2”x2” squares. The 2 rules were use light, medium, dark values of neutrals and take no more than 2 min per square.
This set is “white” neutrals. 3”x5” rectangles. Different values of whites/ivories. 4 pieces of paper, rectangle shapes only,
Then add an accent which was the white circle fabric paper.
Don’t like this one as much but it’s an exercise.
I also need a better quality notebook. My better notebooks are all too small to get all my collages on the same page.
This makes my head swirl, I’m amazed you can read that and then produce the wonderful things you do. I’ll sit back and just enjoy your work
