A 7 or 8 step, step-by-step ...

step 1

I started with foil cardboard ...

( I know it doesn't look metallic, but trust me? it is)

rescued from an opened Costco package,

the kind you have to cut to get into?

step 2

Adding graphic text from a Verizon junk mail ad.

step 3

And a second torn strip of the same add. I prefer the torn edge.


step 4

And, a torn piece from the reverse side of the same ad junk mail.

step 5

Mark-making tissue, the process shown here in an earlier blog.

step 6

A torn piece from another ad. junk mail to add contrast.

step 7

Final piece is a circular-ish shape from

a different piece of junk mail.

Step 8 below, is digitized, a subtle change.

step 8

I love using junk mail & throw-away stuff.

“Women of a Certain Age”

I have featured Susan Webb Tregay earlier, and I really love her work, the expressiveness, freedom, purposeful lines and humor. She said, about this art above, "My entry to ArtFields! “Women of a Certain Age”, 46x108”. A young woman anxious about the responsibilities of womanhood, an exhausted mother, and finally being relegated to an observer of life. These will be presented as one tapestry-like piece."

I looked her up and found so many great examples of her carefree work to share.
