May 5th: Still trying to do my one-a-day creative project.
Part of the list for my first mixed media class asks us to bring 3 to 10 hi-contrast black and white laser photocopies to transfer to our artwork. So now I have been thinking in black & white, and somehow my mind got stuck at ‘granite’. Perhaps it was while I was changing the rocks in the tumbler… anyway when I saw the sparkly carborundum grit used for tumbling, I thought that I might somehow be able to use it together with plaster for a ‘granite‘ painting, inspired by the plaster walls embedded with mirror that I saw in India. Or perhaps graphite would work better?
