Experimenting

I have been experimenting in my studio.

I've selected a few of my favorites to show you what I've been doing.

It all began with a National Geographic magazine that I randomly added Citra Solv between pages. 

(Citra Solv is a liquid natural citrus solvent and powerful degreaser)

I waited approx. 45 min. then I removed those pages from the magazine and laid them out to dry.
After they dried I did one or sometimes more than one of the following steps:
*added more Citra Solv and moved it around the page
*added India ink
*added alcohol drops
*added acrylic paint
*added chalk pastel
*added charcoal powder
*added instant coffee granules

                   

 
                    

                    

 

I think they turned out rather awesome!

I'll hang them in my studio, for now, awaiting inspiration to strike.

It will interesting to see what comes of them.  I'll let you know.
