Fun – is the Order of the day

Post by Linda Germain


I am inspried by rusty and distressed things.  I have collected a bunch of rust in my travels and tried a couple of rust prints.  Today, I am doing a couple more. 

  1. I started with some old prints that I did on good paper,
  2. Soaked them,
  3. Chose some rusty items
  4. Spritzed the rusty stuff with water
  5. Put them under pressure
  6. Wait and see what happens

I am usually not very good at the wait and see part.  I am also playing with as series of collages that start with a base of security envelopes, paint, sanding, collaging back and forth until complete.  I am inspired by Dean Nimmer’s book Art from Intuition. I like his idea of sorting my artwork into piles like, dislike, like but needs something.
