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!

 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!

 Layering stencils

 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.

 I like mixing my own colors instead of using straight from the tube. In the past few years, I've worked more with dyes than paint. With 100 days of printing, I'm certainly using more paint than I have in a long long time. Many tubes are actually dried up. I also find that my colors are very limited. I decided that I wanted a nice teal for printing and played with mixing my own. The color is ok. I'll keep trying.

All those roses had leaves.... had to use them!

 

28 / 100 Calligraphy

 

Yes! Cosmetic sponge magic!

Artist play date

 Gathering images for inspiration

I like the curved marks I made with the bottom of a broken tea cup using black paint

Mark making using black paint and a small round paint brush

Nothing like an old credit card to create marks!

 

24/100 Ink

 I don't use my dip pens near enough! The scratchy sound of the pen when writing is certainly a pleasure. This needs more exploration. 

23/100 Roses

 I couldn't resist a bouquet of roses.
