I often do work in an unplanned manner too -- never know where I am going until I get there.<br />I love that you use such simple materials in your work.

On the issue of "thinking", I usually just go with the flow to start and then somewhere in the middle I start to over think, lose my way and hate the result because it never seems to measure up. Hence I am concentrating on digital art for a while. I love the fact that I can get rid of any layer I dislike!Musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943731104369280883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-31200830665659117682009-09-07T15:48:17.980-06:002009-09-07T15:48:17.980-06:00Another great nature piece, Val!

And yes, quite often intentional attepts to layer just get fraught with pressure and don't work out while the serendipity layering always tends to work out for me. Well done!

For the last 2 days I have been out in my back yard picking up nature that look interesting too and ready to make a similar project.

Beautiful piece, you really have inspired me to get my project going.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479639549189404430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-74190340266192153402009-09-06T13:27:22.526-06:002009-09-06T13:27:22.526-06:00i don't know why i haven't checked in for ...i don't know why i haven't checked in for awhile but<br />you have amazing pieces from since i WAS last here!!!the dolls<br />the nature...oh my<br />the nature pieces are so peaceful<br /><br />aren't cardboard boxes just the best!<br />i recylcle them too<br /><br />in a more timely fashion i shall be back!<br /><br />:)Mary S.

To answer your question about not thinking and just playing: yes, I find that quite often it is MUCH more satisfying to just relax and see what develops instead of having a distinct plan in mind and then trying to achieve that. I wish I could develop that mind-set more often, as I tend to be a think first then act person. The problem with that style of art making is that I spend more time thinking than doing! <br />On a different topic, I finally did a post about your rust papers! Remember we talked about this months ago? One of my recent digital collages uses the rust paper, so thanks again for your permission to use your map image, and for generously sharing the information on your blog as to how to achieve that effect.<br />Debbie of Senses Engaged <br />http://papercracker.blogspot.com/papercrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289128196245004872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-76002203263126157522009-09-06T12:40:40.560-06:002009-09-06T12:40:40.560-06:00Small pieces can be very strong paintings...this i...Small pieces can be very strong paintings...this is one of them.
