42/100

 Light bulb moment! Paint the photo and scratch in while the paint is still wet. I don't have any open paint,  so the work has to be fast. Super fast...

 Where i am now:


It's time to get serious about placement and work on the background fabric to prepare for permanent stitching.  The background needs much stability to attach the shards.

38, 39, 40, 41 "Discharge"

 Removal of paint with a rolled up strip of fabric. This process has promise.









36 & 37/100

 Another fail. I grabbed a silkscreen and attempted some prints. I think my paint was just too thick. The first one was yarn placed under the screen, the second was trimmings from a papyrus plant (that I have successfully overwintered!)

 Instead of struggling with too small photos, tape a few together to create a more manageable surface. Or... "create a quilt block". Now that's thinking!

34/100

 1/3 done. Not enjoying the assignment.  I really thought that by now I would be working on sunprinting - but, alas - the rain and clouds are not helping. I feel like I am not growing. Just creating the same stuff, over and over.

Rubbings on fabric (or lightweight paper), can create wonderful texture. Not so good on old, stiff photographs. How about a rubbing on tissue paper and then adhere to the photo? Not amazing. My mistake was using gelatos and not letting them dry before gluing down. Impatient.  Yep - that's me!
