Monday was Art Day! A day of play, exploring, learning, trying and failing and trying again! I like to have a day every week for this, but it doesn't often happen. Honestly, I get caught up in producing something I can use here, even it's not something I love. Monday I spent several hours messing around. I wanted to try the embossing ink as a resist. I came to the conclusion that I am resistant to resists! (Embossing ink on paper is supposed to resist any water based color.) Sigh. I had several 3 x 4 inch pieces of heavy cardstock, so I decided to just keep trying different techniques. I drew, stenciled and stamped with the stuff, with disappointing results. But my goal was to try new things, so I succeeded! Here's one piece I managed to use for a collage:
Here's another, in a larger format. The embossing doesn't really show.
