Paul and I are in Maine for a few days and my intention was to spend the snowy day cleaning my studio. What actually happened was a few minutes of cleaning and organizing.... then a little paper printing....a few minutes of organizing....then a little experiment playing with papers. That's usually how I clean. Or I guess I should say that's how I don't clean.

While my craft table was still a mess from not cleaning I decided to make more light colored solids on the gel press. I'll add more layers and texture next time I try to clean. 😉 I didn't have anywhere near enough variety of light yellows for the class project so that's what I focused on. I still need to work on getting this first layer really light. Once I start...it's hard to stop. I had papers drying everywhere.

I covered the top in blue papers....and didn't really like the way it looked. But because of that last step on my class project where I painted the negative spaces it occurred to me I could paint over it with a very dry brush and still get the texture of the papers underneath. Next I added the little scraps as a nod to a spring flower garden. I think there's potential with a little more thought and planning. I had a lot of fun NOT cleaning.
