well dear readers..
lately I have been busy in the studio
painting papers with ink...
working with resists...
and playing with transfers...
on paper
and plastic...
this piece below
is a detail of a larger piece
the paper is 22 x30
although the transfer is small,
I love the way it came out,
quite by accident, which is sometimes the most wonderful
of
art events...
working on tiny stitches...
snippets
really...
but on fine fabric it lays down nicely on paper
below...
I realized last week
that I have quite an obsession with edges,
with the way paper meets
fabric
and rough edges touch cut paper...
and above where the rough torn fabric hangs down on the paper..
just slightly obscuring the words...
sigh...
well that's quite enough revelation for this week,
see you next week...
C4N!

Paper is so fragile, I love what you can do with it. Yes, accidents are surprising at times. I guess that's what I like about watercolor, I don't always have control of what happens.
cat, you create (and work with) so many wonderful shades of brown! in your hands i like it almost as much as pink! : )

Nice snippets! I like where edges meet, too. Most epecially fabric and paper.
Love the snippets! Sometimes a pile of snippets make one nice piece!
I feel like the small boy in Oliver...More please...more please...
These are just lovely! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

Beautiful Cat! I have a very similar obsession...the way layers come together, edges, oooh, I understand completely!
Nice hint, oh just a hint of pink and you ever so tiny stitches. xox
Oh I LOVE the way that transfer turned out! Stitching on fabric and paper...sigh. Happy Sunday!
What a wonderful obsession to have.. edges. I understand your obsession.. thanks for sharing you work up close.
Happy accidents and tiny stitches...my kind of heaven! Lovely studio work!!
Really lovely!
Hi Cat, I miss Kimmie's Tuesday tea party because it kept us all in touch with each other. Life sure does get busy. Always nice to see your love artwork. Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes, Tammy
beautiful colours, beautiful transfers, beautiful stitches, beautiful edges... yes they all make me sigh too... beautiful work
This sneak peek is incredible. I am in awe of your awesome pieces, especially the transfer. Much better than ones I am working on at the moment.
Your snippet of fabric and sewing looked like writing in a foreign language. Very impressive. And of course, the colors are SO YOU!! Hope to see more next week.
yes, SIGH...
it happens
in your hands
~ a gentle rhythm
in subtle hues
Loving your transfers. I've been doing the same kind of inky-residue-thing through decollage. I've come to appreciate the fragility of old papers because, at least in decollaging, the sum of the mingled papers...and the ink/textures they leave behind when abraded, can be used to good purpose in honing one's expression. You've got some bautiful stuff going on here, CG.
I love the way the transfer came out, too- so lovely and delicate, it almost looks like an etching! Edges are very important, more so than most people would think. one of the best pieces of advice I got from an instructor was, "Pay attention to your edges."
I also love the torn strips of fabric on the paper, most evocative. What do you use for your transfers?
