Sunny Days

Following the notes from my last post: I magically chose two story suggestions and three application suggestions. Not limiting myself to just these but allowing them to act as a beginning for new work. Above photo is an easy sun print using Jacquard Solar Fast in sepia. I love picking up items at the art supply and then just waiting for some free studio days to explore. I'm also using this sepia for painting on fabric and maybe later use it for negative (need to read instructions) transfers onto cloth. I used small olive tree leaves for the ones above and I like them all but especially the indigo piece. My only difficult right now is a sunny day. Yesterday was warm and bright sun but today the fog has rolled in so I'm out of luck for play. The perils of living at the beach!

Hello Yellow

A mixture of yellow... the first one is a monotype using a gelatin base from my "sacred vessel series". The second one is a gathering of experimental stamped squares, adding stitches, beads and tossing in my stamp palm trees! The third one is my favorite...a wedding veil as in a found fragment. The base is painted cloth that was at one time a curtain. The bottom prints of olive tree leaves  pressed into a gelatin base and attached with silver thread. The beads are clear  and turquoise and silver. It draws me into a dream of desert weddings with beaded veils...mystery. For the fun of visiting more 'YELLOW' sites stop by Julie and Jennifer for links.
