March Fodder School

 I watched the first few videos for March Fodder School and then dyed some tea bag papers and coffee filters as instructed by Leaca Young.

 

I've also been keeping up with The 100 Day Project....pictures of my stamps will be coming soon.

 

More Books

I made a few more mastersheets and then made more books. Now, I'm stuck, waiting to have a backyard burn so I can "age" some tins.

And I started gluing fodder scraps to my Kindle cover. This feels like a perpetual work in progress. 

Mastersheets and a Book

I combined pieces of my eco-dyed papers into several master sheets...

 

And then I cut them into pages for a book to fit in a tin.

I had a video but Blogger isn't cooperating right now so here are a few photos...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Altered Photos, Sigils, and an Enso

I tried all of Jack's photo altering techniques, and combined a few. I can't walk by my work table without messing with a photo. 

I finally moved on to the sigils. Jack's demonstration used positive affirmations and I started with those. But then I went to the dark side...it was cathartic.  It's a great way to say the things I'm feeling after this election. Can't wait to use some in a few greeting cards to a few special people. 

 

 

I also followed Jack's lesson and made an ensō. I absolutely love it.

Aging and Dyeing

I watched all of the rest of the video lessons and although I was skeptical,  I marked on my papers and began the aging process.  I love what I'm getting! 

Last night, I panicked because I had no lace and then I remembered the threadbare nightgown I'd thrown in the trash. I salvaged some bits and dyed them with tea and curry powder.

Continuing Fodder School Work

I've been very busy. I am still making marks and dyeing fabric with natural stuff. And I watched a few more videos and started printing with pieces of foam and cutting paper stencils. 

Some of this is not new to me but it's fun to pretend it is. 

 

 

I switched to white gesso for a few. 

 

And here are some pieces of cotton fabric dyed with various tea bags. I'm going to try some using colorful spices next.
