The last of the paperwork series for awhile...

Here is Paper # 3 - Japanese paper again to augment the paper towel (which has a lovely sueded feel), as well as little square gold sequins and round silver sequins.

When I fused this one to the canvas, it actually melted the beads and sequins a bit - but I like the effect.

And this is the very first one I made called Paperwork #4 ('cuz that's the order I labelled them in)...

You can see that I was a bit tentative about it - I wasn't sure how the paper towelling would work, how to quilt it, all that - AND as you can see, the lighter colour green was a economy brand paper towel - it's quite obvious that it is in fact paper towel, whereas the darker, mottled green was our usual brand of towel - and it actually *looks* like hand painted paper.

On this one, I fused strips of the paper towelling to the side - all in all, I prefer the painted sides.

I'll be doing more of these in future, but I'll be getting back to the fabric on Monday - working on that new fern I teased you about last week! See you then!

Again - wonderful! Must admit, that I do like the fact you can see "it's paper towel!" on the second one in this post. Have a great weekend!

Lovely effect and such a simple idea...love it. I really like them both but I think the one in the third picture...#4...is my favourite.

Another wow! REALLY! The Japanese papers are amazing and I like the blue/green one too. The light green paper isn't up to the quality (paper) as you noted and it does make a difference. Hope to see more of the deep blue/green towelling in other work. Both very nice.

Nice! I love the way they turned out! I really can't tell from these photos that they are paper towels.

I think the two-tone turquoise is the best yet -- regardless of the order in which you put them. You know the differences between the quality of the paper towels, but you might consider them as simply different 'fabrics'...
