Hi! Back in the studio now the kids are back in school. Having some fun playing around with this calcium carbonate mineral paper. There's snow on the ground but I saw my first vulture (a true sign of spring in Vermont) so I'm thinking of dandelions & violets. Passing forward a little sun ☀️

Green mountains green sea...papier maché with green paper scraps and a blue sock pigmented with walnut, turmeric, and mineral watercolors. I would like to be improving my drawings but I like making these strange texture-heavy things
