Tearing Pages

In the spirit of experimentation, I tried tearing a few of my sketchbook pages in two, then tearing same blank pages in the same way and switching them. You may have seen my post on the Sketchbook Challenge blog about my Color Collage Pages. I had a sort of break-through with them, and it was a lot of fun. So what could be more fun than tearing them apart?
Very liberating! Here is the purple page, glued to a torn blank page:
And here is the orange and blue page glued to a blank page with some painting and drawing:
I first filled in some areas with watercolor (not my usual medium), then did the drawing BLIND, yes, with my eyes closed, with a gel pen. I opened my eyes to make that top left shape into a chicken. I knew those chickens would show up somewhere! If you are afraid of drawing, try it with your eyes closed. It gives you a lovely sensation of movement, contact with the paper, slowness or speed. Let me know if you've ever tried this, or if you have any other tips for the drawing-challenged. Thanks for visiting.

PS: My new revised web site is up today.

Tag Line

Thanks for all your comments on my new banner. I think I'll keep it as is for now, and maybe change it when my new book comes out? Or not. We'll see. Since I got such great response to this query, I'm sending out another: In re-doing my web site, I'm thinking a tag line after Jane Davies Studios might be a good idea. Suggested by Pamela Miller, my web designer. Today's thought is: "Entice the muse; Find your path". Any comments or suggestions? THANKS!!
