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!

32 / 100

 I've struggled with the curling of photos after they are set. It occurred to me that I could work directly in the photo album that a friend gave me with pics from the '30s.  Neatly organized and ready for me to remove when I need one for collage work!

 Simple stamping with a cork



 In 2019, I traveled to Portugal with a friend. One of the amazing things we did was to visit a cork farm.
