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!

Well hello - getting back to our regularly scheduled programming, we were talking about the paperwork series, (made from "mop up" paper towels, quilted, beaded and sometimes with added other paper then fused to a pre-made 8 x 10 canvas).





This one is actually the second one I made (after the first one I showed you, which was actually the  fourth one I made), and, as you can see - I put fabric on the sides of this one, rather than painting the sides as I did in the last one I showed you. 

The effect is much better with the painted sides, no?



But to me, this looked a bit like the Omega Nebula (also known as the rose nebula) so added some little stars along with the blue beads and quilting.

On Friday, I'll have two more finishes for you in this series.  See you then!

It's my birthday too, yeah!

But,

Email me your snailmail address and I'll send it along.   Thanks to everyone who played along.

See you tomorrow with a finished piece!

Guess what I'm working on this week? 




















If you guessed more of the Paperwork series, you'd be right!   See you on Wednesday with a finished piece!

The little rascals are complete - and unlike the Bobbsey Twins, these two are a little mouthy! 

Both being democrats, they have a little something to say about the upcoming election in the USA.

       

(Isn't he clever!)



(She may have a point.)

On Monday, I'm back to ferns!  A year ago, I made a fern, and during the construction of it, I said I was going to make a bunch of them.

Well, don't you think it's time I made Fern#2?  I do!

Do any of you remember the Bobbsey Twins, or am I seriously dating myself?  

As I was making these two, I couldn't help but be reminded of them - I really loved those books when I was a little girl...




and they made me desperately want a fraternal twin! (I didn't like Flossie and Fred much though, so I was glad to not have a younger set.)

I pretty much had a fraternal twin though, given one of my brothers is 9 months and 8 days older than I am.  (Don't freak out, we're adopted! lol) But we were pretty darn close...

Still, not a twin!




However, I guess these two are a post-modern version of Nan and Bert - given that they're a: Black, and b: have something very different to say than Nan and Bert might have!

Wanna know what they have to say?  Come back on Friday!

See you then...
