From the background
I decided that, since I like to use my own paper in collage, I'd create a few backgrounds. Talk about fun!! I used both 90# for easy tearing and140# for the heavily textured and layered pages.
My copy of Serena Barton's Wabi Sabi Art Workshop book just arrived and I can't wait to dive in, explore, learn. I wonder how different her methods are from the way I do backgrounds. My method is to shut my brain off and start grabbing - paint, ink, embossing powder and stamps, whatever I can reach and as many processes as possible. I suppose it's a bit wabi-sabi considering the number of happy accidents that happen when I call a piece a background. It's not always easy to work with that kind of abandon on canvas and/or larger projects, so it's good practice. I'd highly recommend it! Hope you're having a great June!

I've set myself a garden photo a day goal to make me (1) actually see (2) stop neglecting my plants (3) ensure I do at least 1 creative thing everyday!
