Seed Story I




Seed Story I
ingredients: monotype, watercolor pencils, metallic gel pens, stitching





This is the first of three pieces I'm going to have in a traveling exhibit curated by multi-talented artist and Northern Kentucky University instructor Paige Wideman.  You'll probably want to check out Paige's website; she does some very cool work in a wide variety of media.

All of the pieces in the show have to be no more than 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.  This was kind of challenging for me- you know how much stuff I usually put in my work - but I learned a lot.  I'll let you know the when's and where's of the exhibit as soon as I get the info.

And stay tuned- Seed Stories II and III will be posted soon!

    1. Hopefully the work will be seen by more people this way- or at least by people who wouldn't normally see it. Thanks, Valerianna.

    1. Merci, Elfi! You're right- making things this small forces you to pare it down to the essentials, which is an important lesson.

    1. I'm glad you are inspired, Mary Helen; I find a lot of inspiration in seeds, myself. Like magic, they break open and become something else...
