is the title ...
of this first new piece
a close up below...
this work on paper
measures 15" x 15"
mixed media painting
and the following small pieces
are all
"Italian collage"
several of you asked me about
this process
I call it Italian collage, because
I use a pasta machine
to press the collage so that the layers combine ...
neatly with the substrate
I like to use a lot of layers of collage
and different textures and I prefer smooth
edges...
and you know how I love a restricted palette...
each of these
measures 4" x 5"
and is hand stitched to
khadi paper measuring 8" x 8" 1/2
working on getting new these new smalls mailed
out to my gallery
and also working on a couple of cradled gesso boards..
and of course...
November pages in my art journal are almost finished...
hope your spring or autumn is
splendid..
ciao, ciao!
