Years ago (like, around 1995 or so) I did a couple of experiments with marbling techniques. One of the things I had in mind when I pondered recycling my old stuff was getting some use out of these sheets instead of just storing them. Gift wrapping has come to mind, but it would be fun to get more out of them (first) somehow.
So I’m going to scan them and see if fun can be had along the way. In fact I think I may want to make more of these at some point, perhaps using better paper. I can’t remember which type of paints/inks I used, but that can be researched I’m sure!
First I’ll need that studio, I think. Or just more hours.
En gang midt i 90’erne eksperimenterede jeg med at lave marmorering, brugte forhÃ¥ndenværende papir, tapetklister i et fad og ja, jeg kan ikke engang huske hvilket farvestof jeg brugte.
I stedet for at de bare ligger og glor i en mappe syntes jeg det kunne være sjovt at bruge dem, måske lave små gaveæsker, men først har jeg tænkt mig at scanne nogen af dem for at se om man også kan bruge dem til noget i Photoshop.
Og så fik jeg i øvrigt lyst til at prøve igen på et tidspunkt, evt. med bedre papir. Når jeg altså lige finder en tidsmaskine, sådan en som kan lave mere af den!

Never mind what the rest of the house looks like, I’ll only visit it rarely and briefly. 😉 (actually that’s not true, I do have a lot of ideas about what my dream house looks like. And the garden. And the location.)
I don’t think that’s too much to ask, so I am. With colour and doodles and fairy glitter on top.
Not to mention all the ideas I get from the magazine “Studios”. Yes, I torture myself reading such things…. I call it visualization. 😉
This is a 3D image I did years and years ago of the office in our flat. I even had an equal room next door for a studio, but at the time computers was the thing. And myself with the wacom tablet.1970’s style 😉
In the mean time I guess I have to live with a corner of the kitchen for an office, library and stash, a corner of the guest room (no it’s not big enough for a studio in any which way) for stash and the dining table for crafts. Our kitchen counter is really small and fortunately old and worn, because dye does get spilled… But cooking and dyeing and doing the dishes clash very often.
I’ve perhaps scored a piece of wall currently occupied by my husband’s entertainment center (great big tv). Turn it around, turn the sofa = added bonus we can see the fireplace from the sofa and I get a place to hang canvases. Yes, I’ll splotch the walls, but at the rate that we’re not entertaining dinner guests I honestly don’t care. I live here every single day, and doing is so much more important than showing (off) in my humble opinion.
