The studio is...

... a happy place, always.  This week I've been playing with collage as a prep for making more bookmarks on Saturday.

I have a special fondness for the feathery look of that triangular Unryu paper...itsn't it lovely?  There's another shot of it three photos down.

The white on white wallpaper, when skimmed with a black stamp pad is just delightful, too.

Of course, it wasn't all black and white this week.  I did a colourful collage from very small bits of paper as well...not sure whether this will be cut up for bookmarks or not.

And I finally finished this painting that was started well before Christmas - Fire Storm Near Arcturus.

All in all it's been a fun week as we celebrated John's 80th birthday, hosted family and generally got into major fun and games!  I hope your week was at least as good!  I look forward to hearing about it in the comments.
