It is awesome. So in your "Pink Chair" the words are beneath the glazed paper? What kind of paper to you glaze or paint. Is it the paper in the picture with the glasses. Like Japanese Paper maybe watercouler even. I don't know but it is beautifull. Wouldn't I love to get my hands on paper like that. I love your work. Wouldn't a paper museum be great. Like the Science Centre here where you get to do hands on stuff with science things. Funny, I can't describe one science thing. yikes. But a paper museum or centre where you get to touch ALL the Paper. Different paper from all over the world. With great big bins of different things you could run your hand through. Like coloured sand and sparkles and unwound ribbon and buttons too. Cancer Moon too much excitement for me. I know the addiction. I have come to love the golden paper from Godiva Chocolate. I have never tried the chocolate but the paper is spectacular. In a way it is like the painted paper that you do with the, is it like angel hair or something. Maybe I can put some of the things I do on my facebook page so you could see what I do. I won't be able to sleep tonight now. Paper is way to exciting. But mostly just fun. Everytime I come here I look at your paper.

I brush it onto pages of books. You can layer different colors and get a great translucent effect while still seeing the text beneath. I have some samples on my Facebook page. The yellow pages that say "Fun" and the pink chair one ... I am addicted to the stuff ... hahahah!

I thought it was interesting that you picked up on "order". I am pretty orderly...and organized. I have been told I can be anal about it - (and then there was that real estate agent that looked in my linen closet and declared that it was "the closet of a very sick woman" - but, I prefer to think of it as attention to detail : ) I'm not a Leo - but, I've been with one for 31 yrs - so, maybe that's rubbed off on me. Not a Pices either - but, my grandmother - who was also my best friend and I shared a room with when I was growing up was - so maybe some of that rubbed off. I am a Capricorn and have had someone walk into the house, look around, and say "you're a Capricorn" - but, others think I'm a Sagitarian...maybe because I was born 2 wks. late. Anyway... thank you for saying that I came across as compassionate, giving & as someone with an open heart. That means a lot to me. I chose the name because of the play on metaphysical - but, also because of what Metta means. So, I'm glad to know that it's coming through in what I say (and hopefully for those that know me in person, in what I do...). As for my preference - I usually respond as Michele (and keep Metta restricted to her pages on my web site & FB) But, one day she talked a friend of mine into showing her how to change the little profile pic and took over. And, (keep in mind my aforementioned prowess) I have no idea how to change it back. I'm really enjoying your posts... am facinated by what you do..and your process... but, a 2 hr. commute, each way...whew.... Hope "we" will hear from you again, soon... Hi Donna ~

I thought it was interesting that you picked up on “order”. I am pretty orderly…and organized.

Sounds like it is good enough to eat. Does it stick to stuff? What is glazed paper?
Sounds like it is good enough to eat.

Does it stick to stuff?

I am still six when it is Christmas with all the pretty paper and ribbon and bows and I am all too familiar with the "faulty" (HAHA) Gesso Jars and I am pretty good now at cleaning the acyrlics out of the carpet. Funny about the box of paper, my box of paper is over the spilled viridian green that refuses to leave me. I have become accustomed to its face. As for the letting...It will come...and you WILL get the joke. Bernadette, I don’t think there is anything more sexy than a box of “ill-torn” paper.

"I fear there is a seduction in progress." Love that line! I stay away from knives and have resorted to tearing paper ... hehehe ... to free the artist in me. I have a whole box of "ill-torn" painted and glazed papers waiting for their own "re-birth." And I have made many messes on my way back to my artist self. I can tell you this ... when shaking a bottle of gesso ... make sure the lid is screwed on ... NOT an easy clean-up. I am "letting" ... and it is slowly happening ... as I suspect it is for you as well. :) DONNA! “I fear there is a seduction in progress.” Love that line!

I don't have the time to re-write, right now - but, I'll try to get back to it soon... In the meantime, Metta appreciates your "like" - and I'd be happy to have a new friend :D Donna – I also responded to your other post that mentioned Leo, etc… but, for some reason it disappeared.

And gestures do not mean signs or body movements, but acts of true abandon, acts of largesse, of humor. As a gesture for the spirit, warriors bring out the best of themselves and silently offer it to the abstract. -Carlos Castaneda Thanks Michele.
