The warm weather causes us to shed layers of clothes. People have many layers - some they share and some they keep hidden. Art can have layers of meaning. Paper can be layered with paint, ink, tissue, more paper...and on, and on, and on. Today I found myself in the craft room intrigued by the idea of layers. I wonder how many layers I can add to a base of paper? I wonder if I will try to answer that question? :) Today I began with a beautiful piece of paper that was given to me by a wonderful friend :) It started with ink and paint and then gelatos and then tissue and painted paper...and on and on and on. I love the depth and interest that this creates. I love what is showing and what is hidden. I am showing you a picture of one of the layers and then more layers placed on top of it. It's intriguing to think I could keep going and no one would ever know what is underneath...not even me...unless I captured the layers with photos. Yes, I am intrigued by layers!
