Exciting New Technique

I was fortunate to once again attend the Art and Soul Retreat in Portland, Oregon in early October. I wish everyone had the opportunity to be immersed in something they love for a week, inspired by amazing instructors, and surrounded by happy, generous fellow artists. I am so excited about the techniques and tips I learned from two wonderful instructors (I still can't believe my luck at having the opportunity) - Lesley Riley and Anne Bagby. I am currently working on a technique from Anne that I am loving. Anne makes what she calls "complicated papers" with glazes, hand-carved stamps and stencils that she uses in her collages. They are so beautiful - a feast for the eyes. I am still new at the technique but I'm having such fun with it. I have almost completed the two pieces you see here and plan to do many more.
