Project 1 - More Marks

This is where things started to get very messy!  Let me loose with a box of paints and you're asking for trouble!  I had a great time playing with paint, wax crayons and coloured pencils.  I had to look at different ways of making marks using techniques such as wax resist, block printing, using bits of bubble wrap and scrunched up plastic bags, wet on wet etc.  After a considerable mess had been made I did some rubbings which was serious fun!  Finally I had a go at collage using mulberry paper.  I created the fluffy edges by running a wet paint brush down the paper.  When the water has soaked in it tears easily to leave a lovely fluffy edge when dry.
