Inspired by a recent Wanderlust 2024 class, I chose rust-decorated paper to collage for this week's planner.
The process began with layering rusty pieces of metal, vinegar water and a variety of papers in an enamel pan, and leaving the whole mess for 24 hours or more.
The rusty metal imparted its rich colors -- siennas and ochres -- much like the dead meadow grasses and oak leaves still clinging to the trees outside my studio window.
The mingling of earth tones with black print and creamy old paper have a beautiful appeal to my artist's eye.
I tore pieces from some of the papers without thinking about it too much, then glued them down with Yes paste, a thick, archival paste I use for a lot of projects.
All that was left to do was to add in the dates and appointments with black ink pens and a Pentel India ink brush pen.
I love starting the day with art!
