Paper-making Addiction

I am having way too much fun at Elaine Brady-Smith's collage class. So much fun, in fact, that art admin stuff and most other things are not getting done. Elaine is teaching at the Art Association of Harrisburg, where I will teach digital photography this summer and fall.

This collages "Evening Walk 1" features a print from my original Holga photograph "Vespers" and homemade papers.

Papers! Ohmigosh ... What fun. I have become addicted and may never purchase another piece of paper in my life. I'd rather make my own and barter with other artists who also make their own papers. I stay up way late into the night to make paper. I fail to update my website, my blogs, etc ... because I MUST make paper. Elaine has created an addict!
At left is "Morning Light," which I liked so much that I mounted it, as is, on board, applied a varnish and it now hangs for sale in the gallery.

No wonder you hung it up -- it's a gorgeous piece of art! (Found you through a google alert on fabric collage).
