What I'm Working On Now

Sometimes, we do mindless things to experiment and see where it leads us.
​
Lately, I've been obsessed with paper collage as a first layer of adding texture to my work.  So, I've been covering mixed media paper (front and back) with torn pieces of decorative paper used for scrapbooking.  I had a lot of this left over from my last Mixed Media Adventures Retreat and I love the idea of re-purposing stuff into the next iteration.

Over the next few weeks, I will share each new layer with you so you can actually see the changes I have made as well as hear what I am thinking.

First layer:  Tear up papers into any shapes.  Collage papers with fluid matte medium (I use Liquitex).  Let dry.  Repeat on the other side.  Let dry.  Flatten under weights for 1-2 days.

Because of the drying time, I usually work on 10-20 pages at a time.

​More next week.
