Journaling: Chiharu Shiota has amassed 300+ donated shoes - along with a handwritten note from each donor confiding a personal memory. She plans to spend several days using 4 miles of red yarn to link the shoes to a single overhead hook. "String can sag, connect or loosen. It has so many...

More hybrid art - one of my watercolor-acrylic experiments + 3 of Joanne Brisebois's papers + a couple elements by Createwings and Ashalee Wall from my stash of Oscraps collabs.

Thank you Adryane, for the inspiration https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=311495&title=orange26amp-3b-red&cat=1351. I didn't get a chance to read her original process explanation, but this is what I did.

I was very exited to find out that Russell Brown made his Watercolor Assistant action/panel Open Source. If you download the files from http://russellbrown.com/scripts.html, you can reverse-engineer his steps. AND (eee-ha!) he includes the pattern for the paper and the .tpl files for the...
