It was supposed to be patterns left by film wrap and paint but the paper didn't like that idea and it was just nondescript blotchiness with a lovely copper wash in a few places.
This page in my Book developed sloooowwly. I left it for a while as I was quite disappointed in the wash result. Then I noticed a few things at the edges and drew them.
From time to time I added a little more.
I'd noticed the small darker circle and triangle left of center and eventually decided to do something with them. I added a square for three shapes, and decided to use the three primary colors. Originally I was going to use some sparkly paper but yellow looked too gold so I found some leftover bits from other projects.

You made a silk purse out of that sows ear. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you made delicious lemonade from the "lemon"!! I appreciate your giving us insight into your process. It's not uncommon to create something quite different from what we had in mind. We can, #1 succumb to dissapointment, or #2, ask ourselves "What can I do with this?" in a positive and inquisitive voice! The latter is, for some us, very hard to do. It requires vision which, I am learning, takes effort and practice. It's worth doing the work, though! :)

ReplyDeleteI love the result! It shows that creativity sometimes starts slowly and not so easy.
