Lil' bit of "Greener"
I'm trying out an idea: mini-collages made from elements of my last piece, "Greener."
This one I did about a week and a half ago, and on Tuesday morning I did all but the final wash on another. I'm forcing myself not to spend a lot of time on these -- about three hours. I'm also trying to use only what I have on hand: a piece of wood cut down to 4"x4" as the substrate, black rice paper, the focal image, mica, and paper fragments edged with an acrylic wash. Not a full assemblage, but not completely two-dimensional either.
Still deciding what to do with the collages when I'm done... I know there are some galleries that have miniatures shows. Etsy is a possibility, now that I have a better understanding of how my vendor friends use it. What do you think? Tell me in the comments or on Facebook.

Artfest shopping!
Artist & Craftsman Supply knocks 10% off if you show them your Artfest class description at checkout! Besides the Seattle location near the University of Washington campus, the company has 17 other locations scattered across the country. The staff vibe is kind of like that at an old hardware store: friendly but not perky, knowledgeable, and efficient.
And oh, the venerable supply wonderland that is Dick Blick. Did you know they're having a winter back-to-school sale right now? Yes, right-now right now. You have until February 26th to get your butt in gear. (It's in-store only. But they do have some winter discounts for online purchase too.)
Neither store is paying me to tell you this. I just wanted to remind you to bring your class descriptions with you -- it's like a coupon if you use it in certain stores. Off you go now.
Vintage 2012 whine
TwoBoo just about kilt me with his bathtime/bedtime tantrum. I didn't yell back (too much) at him. But that boy commits when he decides he wants something. We try to let him "win" as often as possible, but at what point have we moved from Small Victorytown to Pushover City?
All right. Enough whinging about how haaaaard parenting is. I promise not to give TwoBoo away to the circus. But if they're hiring...
