Done weaving- now to cutting, pasting, painting, stamping and embellishing. I glued this lightly to a paper backing so that I could cut it more easily, but I had to sacrifice the other side, which was interesting too. Then I brushed on some matte medium, so that I could glaze and paint on it a bit. I think this will become 2 cards.
The next technique I want to learn is paper marbling- I hear that you can do it with acrylic paints but it looks like I'll need a day and a large space to make a mess in. That might take a while. I've requested some books from the library so that I can read up on it, and I was looking at some exciting work by Julie Martini after Merill Comeau told me about her work.
There's an iphone in the weaving, and images of artisanal honey. I'm enjoying this palette and would like to push it further.

An artist making one valentine per week for the Artists' Valentine fundraiser in Groton, MA, raising money for a no strings attached grant for artists. And in the meantime, musing about life, art, music, yoga, & whatnot.
