Papers Wabi-Sabi at Art and Soul Retreat

I had so much fun watching the students have fun in this experimental class. Using mulberry paper as a base, students used a wide variety of mark-making tools, along with re-inkers, alcohol inks, and acrylic paint to create free-form decorated papers for collage, books covers, or to hang on the wall. Very cool papers came out of this class. Lots of free spirits in this one!

This isn't one of the wabi-sabi papers from class. This is what a section a worktable looked like when I removed the used protective paper. Nice!

Happy me at Vendor Night with Marie Kennedy, one of the amazing organizers,(left) and Doris Arndt, an excellent artist and instructor.

More Wabi-Sabi from Linda!

Here are two more wabi-sabi pieces from Linda Kunsman. She's doing a series based on projects in my book. I love how she's using the projects as starting points while creating her own style and switching out some of the materials. If you want to see how she did this piece and the one below it, visit her blog to learn more. Thanks, Linda!
