Just for a change

When I come across an interesting piece of paper I tend to keep it. For something in the future. Sometime. Tidying up the studio the other day I came across a lovely small piece of paper with gold and silver flecks. I cut it down to a 9 cm. square and tangled it.

Tangles: Assunta, Black Pearls, Casella, Chebucto,
Flux, Miranda, Paradox, Phuds, Tripo

There are other interesting papers in my drawers, some with designs printed on them. (I have one - and only one - major scrapbook project I began a few years ago and must get back to. Sometime in the future.)  I located some of that paper and had a go.

Tangles: Bales, Cadex, Coaster, Kuginuki, Paradox,
Prestwood, Spinners, Tripoli, Zapateado

Tangles: Finery, Knase, Knightsbridge,
Krli-q, Phuds, Striping, Zapateado

Then I pulled out a pale sheet of hand-marbled paper. I love marbled paper. I didn't draw a pencil string, rather let the lines of the marbling show me where to begin or end a tangle. Some bits spread beyond the border.

Tangles: Braze, Caviar, Crescent Moon, Flux, Gewgle,
Hollibaugh, Jonqal, Lotus Pods, Miranda, Paradox, Phuds, Tipple

For the next one I used sepia ink on what is sometimes called 'straw paper'. It's a paper with bits of dried grassy stuff in it and is rather pretty. However, it's also rather flimsy and the grassy stuff was occasionally bumpy.

Tangles: Bateek, Black Pearls, Crescent Moon,
Jonqal, Paradox, Prestwood, Tipple
