I'm weaving into canvas and loving what is happening. The process to create what I weave is very organic, Then it's all measurements and straight lines, its a odd combination but works I think. The muse desended on me out of nowhere at the beginning of March. This is the first one I did. Each square is 2cm x 2cm (about 3/4 of an inch.) I had made this paper months and months before.
I fell in love with the whole concept. I made mistakes with this one so the next one didn't have those mistakes. And I wanted bigger squares which meant making more paper.
This is how I make the paper. Squeeze paint and fold it over and roll it out.
Then I make 'secondary' paper from the squeezed out paint. Don't have a photo of it. But here is some other paper. My heart opens when I find little pictures in the randomness.
More of the adventure next week. Oh and I have a
Facebook page if anyone would like to like!
Looking forward to seeing you work. xxx Rosie

ReplyDeleteLovely! I used this technique for building up a face in a series I made a couple of years ago. It's very exciting and yours have such beautiful colors as well.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea - I really like how you make the paper and the patterns and colours are gorgeous. I think I would struggle with the technical part of this as straight lines aren't my forte but you've done a beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting me and leaving such a friendly comment, dear Rosie. And I am happy you have, that way I could pay a return visit and it was worthwhile! Your way of colouring paper and the work you create is very inspiring!
