This spread came about as a result of three disparate incidences.1. Linda Findley gifted me with this lovely tarot card.
2. My Wichita art buddy Dana's latest project involved cutting squares and turning them into a frame.
3. Seth Apter created a travel journal that I thought looked like it was made from handmade paper. Although Seth assured me it was cold press watercolor paper, it got me thinking I don't use my handmade paper enough in my art.
Since I don't have red paint that is truly RED like in the tarot card, I went to my magazines and found images of Tiffany lamps that had the yellows, reds, and greens found in the card.
I began by laying down some of my green handmade paper, which didn't turn out so green in the scan, then added the small squares which I purposely didn't try to line up in a matchy-matchy way. Finally, I added the tarot card and fell in love with this simple spread.
