Experiment with watercolor paper, pushpins, ink pen, staples, water, and xacto knife... I loved working on this series. I must have been feeling destructive at the time because I shoved pushpins through the back of paper, cut the paper and "stitched" it back together with staples, and added general distress with an xacto knife... so freeing. Then I added line with ink (lately I can't get away from long, sinuous lines) and blurred that with intentionally-placed, watery brushstrokes.
The destroyed paper, mended with stapes, adds a really interesting quality. It intrigues me.
