new "french paper" work






Ciao, bella...
I don't know about you, but this is always a busy time
for me in the studio...
which is a mess btw...
and I am itching to reorganize and clean things up...

but before I do, I have some jewelry to make
and some other things to take care of...
and one thing is to show you my recent boards
in the French Paper Series..




 La Loire
8x 10



all of these are on cradled boards...
with the exception of the last piece which is on canvas



 Chateau
6 x 6



I recently dropped them off  here in Brighton at the




 La Nota
4 x 4



I know that this collection is a bit different than my usual style...
more patterns and a lot more texture,
especially in the piece below,
I was trying to convey the movement of music...


 Les Joyaux du Piano
11 x 14





 Calling Card
6 x 6


for this collection I used Italian collage
and I experimented with glazes on antique papers
which turned out well I think...





Love Letter Waltz
24 x 30


I particularly liked the painted papers and the marks...
and I adore the cradled boards, 
thinking that I want to use more of them in the future...
for sure...

as always, thank you so much
for stopping by...
your comments are so appreciated...

ciao, ciao!
