Description
A lot of times I’ll protect my work surface with a big sheet of kraft paper and will often clean paint off my brushes by scumbling them about on the paper. After a week or two I’ll pull up the paper and be pleasantly surprised by what I’ve inadvertently created. So then I may use some of that paper in subsequent collages, or make tags with them, etc. In this case, I apparently had some Payne’s Grey, some black sumi ink, and red I-don’t-remember-what color on my brushes. Didn’t want to throw that bit away! I remembered a lovely postage stamp I had of a California condor that coincidentally incorporated these same black, red, and ochre colors. Perfect. The stamp was issued in 1971, when we could send a letter through the mail for just 8 cents.
