Marbling a New Inspiration

layering the paint is like alchemy
I took a great workshop at the NS Centre for Craft and Design with Rhonda Miller, bookmaker and marbling queen. 

Although I had dabbled in marbling as a kid and young adult, I had no idea how much fun and excitement it would instil in me again after 30 years. (smile) 

I did it - no air bubbles
The first day creations where anything but perfect but nevertheless it just got better from there. The next day, all of us in the group, made beautiful papers (perfection wasn't my goal (smile)). I can't wait to get my hands on the materials to create more marbling papers. 

How will I use them? I am not sure yet but collaging has been a part of my art practice for a long time and these new creations might just become a part of it. 

The possibilities are endless. (smile)

Surprise and Plan B

Got a call from the art store. The canvases are not available at the moment. I would have to wait four month and this is not sure either. Have tried to find a new source but without a positive result. But there is still Plan B. Plan B: I will create the canvases myself. Various possibilities are presenting themselves. Will try some and decide which one works best. Stay tuned.
