Monoprint with mixed media.

Fat Cats

 

I recycled the Tyvek from the studio construction and made stencils with them. These are mono prints with mixed media.

Test Notebook #2

Acid Test

In the spirit of my test/error cards, I attempted something similar yesterday morning on a blank 9x12 piece of paper.

Error Cards

Worked on error/test cards this morning.  It’s a fun challenge to bring ruined cards back to life.  I might even start to send these out as mail art.  I also added a few stickers.  Some years ago, we went to an estate sale at the home of a wealthy woman who had a massive craft room and she had multiples of everything.  I purchased hundreds of Mrs. Grossman stickers which I once bought as a kid for my scrapbooks.  Some of you might remember the rolls of stickers at stationery stores.

Fashion Forward

collage with oil paint, 8x10

One of our neighbors is a dealer of high end vintage posters.  Over the years, we have gone to his garage sales and bought some cool old posters, like of Push Pin or Olivetti ads, for a great price.  This last sale he had a stack of 1930s-50s French posters that had seen better days.  Too worn for resale, but cool enough for collage, so John bought me the pile for next to nothing.  This collage has elements from one of the posters.
