I started layering some square boxes yesterday with the intent of doing a few bird prints.  It is a challenge to print on a hard surface with another hard object.  I am used to printing on paper with any kind of found object that comes my way.  So I figured out that I could print with the hard object on to soft foam and then transfer the paint to the box from the foam.  That is how I made the black circle marks above.  Kind of an offset type process.  Happy Printing!

Today I started playing with some small boxes.  I collaged a layer of security envelops, then gesso and then lots of stamped layers, handwriting and paint.  I had to stop to let things dry.  I did use the hair dryer in between some of the layers but I got to a point where thing should dry on their own.  I had to remind myself to do some fearless experimentation.   Still hoping for some extraordinary result.  There is always tomorrow.  Happy Printing.
