Today I played…it has been a while since I have had a chance to do anything in my studio…first I had to sort it out a bit…things tend to fill it in when I am not holding the household chaos at bay by spending time in there…
I started with a canvas painted red…
Added some cheese cloth…
I love the way it folds on itself creating texture…
Then I squeezed out a bunch of colours and dipped a felt flower that I had picked up a few weeks ago at The Papery (wonderful store in the Glebe)…I actually bought 3 of these felt flowers and I imagine that I will use them collaged right into a painting or paintings at some point, but I wanted to see how they worked as a stamp…then I got out my various taps that I have been saving…I have 3 now and a metal tap end circle that I found on the road way back and used them to get some paint on the canvas as well…now I have to wait for this to dry…
Here are the "tools" I used...

Oh this looks like fun. Love the cheese cloth and the colors
I was reading along wondering what you meant by taps. Taps! Cool.
Yes! Water taps! They make a fun stamp...I am always on the lookout for something with which to apply paint or something that I can incorporate into a painting...
Have you ever seen the book...The Secret of Rusty Things...I love it...he gets totally carried away with collecting things for pieces of art...
