When I cut shapes and colors out of magazines, I save them for future collages. I loved these two faces and was happy that they both found a home in this particular Collorage.

I’ve found a rhythm since I’m just using the rolling mill now. Pieces are ready, I roll them through the mill, patina and I’m done in a short time. Since I pretty much have a handle on the rolling mill, I’m going to try etching the metal next for texture. Reading up on the different methods, lots of choices.
Day 51- Swirly, fiberous, hand-made paper, love it, one time use; Day 52- Brass texture plate; Day 53- Brass texture plate; Day 54- Brass texture plate; Day 55- Brass texture plate; Day 56- Brass texture plate; Day 57- Brass wire, can be manipulated into any shape; Day 58- Gauze, one time use; Day 59- steel ornament; Day 60- Cut-up old, lace curtain, one time use.

I was recently chosen by Koh-I-Noor to be 1 of 10 Artists throughout the United States to add my Art to their Clearprint Cross Country Project.
We had 7 days to create and add our artwork to an Artists Pad where each artist creates artwork on one page of the Vellum pad and then it is sent to next Artist.
It was great fun and also a great honor to be chosen!

This work is now completed!
I really enjoyed creating this with no thought at all to where it was going and enjoyed it mostly 🙂
The next work I will be doing is actually something I was invited by Koh-I-Noor and Grumbacher to take part in. I will be receiving a packet from them in next few days where I will have 1 week to create a page in the Cross Country Artwork Book featuring Artists across the Country who have received an invite to take part! What an honor!
