Some of my other current work

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

  5. what 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.
