Paper Painting

 It has been a while since I have posted. I have been busy with mundane and cozy things regarding health and home- appointments, errands, cooking, and spending time with hubby. I have been in the studio, mostly to draw, sketch, clean, and paint papers for future collage. My goal is to make 100 papers to stockpile in a basket for my collage work.

The first set I painted over old journal pages. The paint was transparent and didn't have very nice color, or good coverage. They were metallic and I believe were meant to be painted over more opaque pigment as a glaze. Oh, well. I learned something new. My second set was black & white on cream paper. They were simpler and interesting. I expect I will loosen up as the project progresses.

It was all so calming and fun!

  1. What a good use for old journal pages! I am transcribing some journals and am considering this for the pages I want to discard.

  2. It beats having to shred them or tear them up. I was in a hurry once and threw away a couple of journals in the trash bin. A lady found them (a stranger to me) then after we got to know each other, she told me she read the journals and that she really enjoyed them. Even though she said a nice thing, I decided I needed to be more careful about the way I discard them.
