Well, well, here's an old artwork of mine that I found on a website and was able to download to the desktop, and now here it is posted online. A major accomplishment for me!

It's one of my paper works (duh) where I use onion skin papers (yeah, the kind you used to use as a carbon copy in a typewriter [remember those?!!]), and I 'write' on the papers with a gold calligraphy pen and Caran d'Ache oil crayons. I may have used something from the I Ching in this work. Can't remember, and I'll have to go find it to see if I can figure out what I did. After some scribbling, I have fun using watercolors to put a lot of different colors over the gold and crayons. Both have a wonderful resist effect which I really like. When the papers are dry, I go over them with an acrylic medium to seal them. After that dries, I cut the sheets into quarters so I'm left with all these small rectangles of paper. Then I take a plexiglas rod about the size of a pencil, roll the papers loosely around it, and scrunch up the paper like you do with the paper on a straw. This gives the paper a very interesting texture, and it is then possible to fold and bend them in all kinds of interesting ways. I like these simple triangles. I fold the papers and glue them, and then I glue the triangle shapes to a background, usually foam core. This one has telephone wires down the center. It's not a very big piece.
