cut and paste?




 a new shredder option?


maybe this will be a good background for something else...



stuck to a solid piece of paper for a little added strength

Right now this piece is under a stack of books to help it settle down.
Will trim and try a little drawing on top.
How to take a piece that I'm unhappy with and turn it into something else...
woven with a little Zen

Not the best strata for a pen drawing - the paper kept snagging the pen at the weave joints. I added some iridescent watercolor to pop up the design.  I prefer the look of the woven paper left alone - where the effects of the watercolor on paper show.

Hi Lee, I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering how you were doing. I used to cut strips of fabric this way and use them for backgrounds in quilts. I'll try to put in a link so you can see one of them. The colors are similar to your papers! http://uncommoncloth.com/discussion/purple%20flowers.htm

Looks like you had some fun, Lee! I found that I liked the look of the woven watercolor paper showing through more, too. I thought I would try another one and do a more delicate drawing or try some stamping on it. I think the uneven paper could make the stamp look neat. Ahhhh... yet another idea! LOL
