vociferous
There were several permutations of bird until she found her voice.
break out
Have been working on a series that hasn’t come together yet, so some brain and table clearing was necessary. Postcard of historic San Francisco city hall (before 1906 earthquake), snippets of stuff lying on the table, pattern from Uppercase magazine.
enveloped
The publisher of Uppercase magazine has made another environmentally sound decision with her magazine and switched from plastic sleeves to 100% recycled paper envelopes for mailing. With this first one she suggested the envelopes could be used further. The paper is lovely and fairly thick. It gets softer where it is wrinkled and folded. I concentrated on using layers of it, trying not to overthink the creation.
at risk
An old desktop day-by-day calendar found in the trash with tape, box and wrappings from birthday gifts, and a cat’s eye view.
against the tide…
of what I usually do…and just generally. Have some old tubes of gouache that I got with other stuff from freecycle. They are mostly dried solid, so I had to use pliers to get the tops off. Then I scrubbed the tube tops across wet watercolor paper and played with the results. The fish was in a pile lying on the table and just seemed to want into the scene.
state of being
Gestural paint smears on a table protector underscore the form – all is fleeting.
