What can I say? I’m getting in the habit of taking pencil and sketchbook everywhere that I go. There’s a Twyla Tharp quote about this that I don’t remember offhand, something about having your tools with you.
On Saturday my drawing time became about making a Valentine for my valentine, the love of my life.
Most of these papers were done with gelatin printing. It’s a good idea to keep a wide variety of pre-printed papers available for collage work, and I’m beginning to develop a system of sorting them by color families. Here is a new goal: set one of the vacation days aside for making papers with the kids, gelatin printing and other techniques.
Need to play with patterns!
Sounds like a great goal to have…and one that would be fun for everyone to do together!
How wonderful that you’re carrying a pencil & sketchbook everywhere!
And the kids would most likely really enjoy that paper day!! 🙂 Happy CED. xoxo
