Today's marks, inspired by the neighbor's porch light and tree branches.
Made with oak gall and iron ink which is an ink that is pretty much permanent and has a long history of use. Using it is a connection to tradition.
Turmeric ink which isn't light fast and will fade eventually.
The top image was made with layering the page three times digitally; the center a cropped section of the page.
This is the original page.
I also copied the page and then used the copy to make the two painted butterflies. I added more turmeric ink and indigo ink to these.
I made some notes today...thoughts about the last 100 days. Still processing really.
A list of words: time, location, story, ephemeral, permanent, sky, layers, filters, flowers, birds, the ocean, boats, rocks, dots, lines, wet, dry, found, organic, digital, connections, relationships, unpredictable, and resist.
I've played with a variety of ways of making marks, a variety of papers.
And this too, layered images as another way of telling a story. A liminal space between digital and handmade.
There are still so many things to explore...
