Marbling a New Inspiration

layering the paint is like alchemy
I took a great workshop at the NS Centre for Craft and Design with Rhonda Miller, bookmaker and marbling queen. 

 Although I had dabbled in marbling as a kid and young adult, I had no idea how much fun and excitement it would instil in me again after 30 years. (smile) 
I did it - no air bubbles
The first day creations where anything but perfect but nevertheless it just got better from there. The next day, all of us in the group, made beautiful papers (perfection wasn't my goal (smile)). I can't wait to get my hands on the materials to create more marbling papers. 
How will I use them? I am not sure yet but collaging has been a part of my art practice for a long time and these new creations might just become a part of it. 

 The possibilities are endless. (smile)

It is my pleasure to invite you to the Exhibition Opening of Rørpost  an International Art Collaboration Saturday, September 16 at 5:30 p.m. Wilsons Featured Exhibit Gallery at the Discovery Centre , September 16 - October 4, 2017. Please RSVP by going to the following eventbrite page at  http://bit.ly/2vJsR4w  I had the pleasure to be one of the 24 Nova Scotian artists (Art Focus Group) that collaborated with 24 Danish artists from Esbjerg (Blå Døre Group), Denmark. We each started a painting then sent it to our collaborator in Denmark to finish it and vice versa. After the exchange each of us created a response piece to reflect our project experience. In total 96 works were created. You can enjoy them in Halifax before they travel to Denmark. 😀 These art works will be shown at the Wilsons Featured Exhibit Gallery at the Discovery Centre, 1215 Lower Water Street in Halifax from September 16 - October 4, 2017.    You can find more information about the show
