| new 20 x 16" collages (thumbs up!) |
A very (very!) busy week in Artlandia. This week was all about new work for the
Zea Mays flatfile. I made these 3 new 20 x 16" collages. It's hard for me to put in words right now all of the steps I went through this week to make these, but one thing I did was spray layers of aerosol gesso to get a sfumato effect. I also sprayed gold and black (on the climbing squirrel one). Spraying these (especially with the black) was pretty nerve-wracking, but I think they turned out well. I like how the different marbling in the paper gives each on a distinct atmosphere. I also added branches and printed slightly different sections of the tree block so that the tree turned out differently in each piece.
It was a fun creature week as well. For Thanksgiving, and I baked special pumpkin treats for Honey.

Look at that face! She was a very patient pup,
waiting for them to be ready. |

The kitties don't seem to care for
pumpkin treats, but they appreciated
that I left the heated blanket on for them
(it was a holiday, afterall ;) ). |
 |
...and then it was time for the kitties' favorite
day of the year -
the day the human brings them their tree. |
 |
...and fills it with kitty toys
and a nice soft blanket beneath. |
