Is London Bridge Falling Down Day 23

Day 23  30 in 30

Mixed media on watercolor paper. Continuation of the main concept of "jail" from a previous post.

We start with a concept and look for materials in that respect. This starts with random brayer marks. Lots of experiments, but there are lots of choices. Colors, how to tear, where to place these are choices. But in pieces like these that things happen accidentally, happy things! Pasting tissue paper is an art in itself. Used my silicon brush!
No doodling here!

 On this, I put down fence marks with my wax crayons and added brayer marks! Some collaging with torn tissue paper prints and doodling with Inktense pencils.

My Haunted House Day 21

Day 21  30 in 30

Mixed media on watercolor paper. Continuation of the main theme of "jail" from a previous post.

The first layer where brayer marks of color. Added a tissue paper Gelli print. Found 2 tutorials on printing on tissue paper; Carolyn Dube and Gelli Arts so now I have a bunch of tissue paper prints.
The one here reminded me of a landscape so I pasted it whole. Added marks with my Inktense pencils and what do you know a haunted house appeared, thought at first a jailhouse. Whatever!
I am really having fun with this method of exploration and doodling.

Look who took over my "studio divan"

Looking closely at the open page looks like a cat!

Pity I didn't see that before I started doodling!
