Faze 3 of the collage papermaking..

real tire tread for stamp, thanks Doris

 Polymer resist paper, national geographic pages with polymer stamped on, dryed and then Nevr Dull used to pull the magazine inks off...something I stumbled upon when I was in my playing mode...it's in the Technique book with the National Collage Society. Creating collage in all Dimensions

Just a sheet of alphabet stencils and Nevr Dull but I did the stencil one way and then turned and did it the other way..

 I found a Play Doe tracing wheel and ran it through the polymer and then to the surface of the magazin..Nat. Geo papers work best.. then let it dry and again used Nevr Dull to pull the inks off.

 Same as above but used a plastic spool from thread

 that tracing wheel again.

This magazine paper, (Nat. Geo.) had shelve liner underneath and then rubbed the surface with the Nevr Dull

 I figured I made about 70 magazines sheets of Collage papers yesterday and coated the backs today and moved into the kraft and white lunch bag paper.

 Using Gesso on kraft papers or if you don't have that you can use you paper food bags just cut them up.. I stamp, crinkle or smear the gesso around later when dry I'll come back in and use the stain tissue mixture and change the color of papers. adding texture and line now..

 Playing with some stamps I made awhile back and used a mini foam paint roller with some thread wrapped around it and it made a great wavy effect.

 I cut out a stamp that was to look like rocks or pebbles..and then I used the foam and cut strips and squares and glue them on to some wood blocks..but that was a different class a while back. 

 Here is a close of the wavy print paper.. I'm ready to coat the back before I add color to the surface you see now.

 By coating the back first it will be a sturdy paper to work with when I bring in the color on the opposite side.

My work surface left over from Thanksgiving when the kids where using it to create art..I added my own to it and taped up some spots. Wonder what it will look like soon...might make some great paper. 

Had to stop making paper for a good reason...Tania Reception today and here she is standing next to Pat a dear friend and art buddy..
