      While Randal and Wyn (and pretty much everyone else) were off on the bus trip to Emphasus and camel wrestling I was back on DoraMac reading and creating my own paste paintings. It was so much fun when Jill taught us that I just wanted to try it again.  If you have never tried it, it’s really lots of fun.  You could then use the finished page as background for anything or cut it up to use for collage.  Anyway, it was lots of fun.

Drying in the cockpit.

I mixed some school glue with some watercolor paint.  Then I sort of wet down a page of my small art journal.  As I’d made lots of glue paint, I also got out my big sketch book and tried it there too.  I’d not intended to make a print but the page blew over so I made a print from the original and I actually like it better.  It’s the one on the right below.  The design was made with the end of a plastic spoon which had a ridge in it. You can use fingers or a comb too or the squeegees like Jill made.

First ‘print’ on the left and second on the right just on photocopy paper.

I then made a print from this original though  the paint had dried a bit too much on this one to make a really good print.

My ‘sort of daily’ art journal.

Each day I write down words and pick a few to illustrate.  The first day was a toasted simit with peanut butter and Brussel sprouts….   I’d bought the white pen in Michael’s Roanoke and tried it out on my journal cover.   Sadly I’ve fallen way behind on that project but got back to it Saturday while Randal and Wyn were away.

A quick Saturday morning watercolor….  Not bad….

Go Pats!   Cape Cod Connie and her partner Paul are huge Pats fans as is my friend Bruce.  I’m more a Sox fan but I’m cheering on the Pats too!  Go Pats!
