What fun this has been. I continue to receive cards of all varieties. It does make coming home and checking the mail so much more inteesting.
Here are a few of my favorites from what I have received so far…
From @CaterpillarArt ... intriguing how small parts of the collage were damaged in the post.
From @sjafana ... done entirely on an iPhone with apps.
From @sparkyour art ... deep with texture
And a couple of favorites from what I sent…
Dream State #14
Dream State #30
The theme was “Time and Being Human” …[not the "Human Being", but what does it mean to be human and live in "Time"]. I considered this for a while and chose to explore a state of consiousness beyond time, but certainly part of the human experience, the dream state.
All the pieces started with a monoprint following the same template. I let the ink be depleted though a couple of prints before applying more ink. As I went further along through process, water from the soaked paper further diluted the ink on the plate. I was using 140# watercolor paper from a water bath.
After they dried, and were pressed overnight, each one had further work done on them with Prismacolor pencils and sometimes pastels. All were sealed with a matte fixative.
I believe that my work improved towards the end. Each became it’s a character and took on a life of it’s own. If you find a favorite, please let me know. Here is the entire series…
And here are all the received pieces from the entire group of 56 artists.
