My best friend’s granddaughter is arty and discovering oil pastels. I’ve been finding papers for her to try and, in my art room search, found a couple of old Sennelier sketchbooks. They didn’t suit how I work, so had been abandoned. The pages are perforated so I’ve removed my old work and Sandra’s handing the sketchbooks onto J.
The pages I removed were mainly gelli plate prompts. It looks like I was using masks to print directly onto the pages. What’s interesting is, despite being perhaps 6 years old, there’s many of the same shapes and marks I use now.
I’ve been cutting the pieces up and using them for collage in a small 5×5” journal. I like seeing that history reimagined.
