11-23-2008: Tear Drop Striped Bead - Remember the natasha banana? That's what gave me the idea of making a natasha bead with stripes. The tear drop shape is an interesting change of pace.
11-16-2008: Oil Slick Chop Index 2 - Taking the stacked sheets and not doing the final press and roll I get to see the  colors better.

11-16-2008: Oil Slick Chop

I'm always stopping to look at oil slicks on puddles when it rains. Makes my older sister crazy when I do that. This is an experiment using colors I see in oil slicks, giving it a chop and then experimenting with stretching the designs with filler.

Chop and toss, coleus and generic leaf cane, small round natasha beads, slide show format.

This collage is a pop-up book, so there's things that open up on some of the pages that have collages inside.
