Textures

Finally finally finally I have some time to do a little art, and this is really only the first step.  I'm planning on doing some things over these, but I am ridiculously pleased with the textures--leaves pressed into modeling paste on cardboard, sealed, and then some black acrylic paint rubbed into them.  I will post what they turn into when that happens.

I also started some new rust drawings, trying a little bit different technique, and I'll post those when any of them are done as well.

Getting close to the end

I'm getting near the end of my rusted paper.  I think there are three more after this.  I realize that I started with the most striking pieces of paper in the beginning (of course), and with these last ones, it's harder to coax images out of them, because they're not jumping right out at me.

I'm already thinking about making some more rust paper......and if I do, I can set different rules.  Like maybe using washes instead of all these lines.....
