Having fun

Didn't get the chance to blog last week, but I've been caught up in Fonda Clark Haight's workshop "The Down Deep". So much fun that is, I'm learning a lot.

One of the techniques we learned is making prints with deli paper, and then searching for creatures in there. Well, that of course is one of my favorite pass-times :-)

Here's the first one I did.

Starting from this background:

and ending up with this:

The weird thing is: I saw these figures so clearly when I started, but when I looked a the picture of the background the next day I couldn't find them anymore. It could've been a completely different scene if I had waited a day :-)

Here's another spread I did, which started of with a childhood memory and some collage:

I had no idea what to do with it so I just scribbled and painted and collaged a bit more all over it:

Bit of a mess, but at least I could find some figures now:

way too busy, so I calmed down the background with gesso:

and finished it:

The last one is another deli paper print (that might just become my new favorite technique ...)

Starting from this mess:

finding a few heads:

bringing them out:

cleaning them up ....

and finishing it (kept finding more figures):

My painting is standing neglected on its easel .... And it might stay like that for a while longer :-D.

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody has been doing on Paint Party Friday. Thanks for your visit! Here are some funnies to end with a smile :-)

 winter has well and truly started here .... yuk!

Some to think about ....

That's it for this week! I'll be back next week for the last time this year. Hope you're having a really nice day! Take care, and enjoy the weekend! ♥ ♥ ♥
