Collage with layers of plain tissue paper over to obscure. #dailycollage #dailysketchbook #sketchbook #tissuepaper #abstract

Muted colours of greys, a little yellow and dark blue. Irregular shapes overlapping and covering the whole page. Maybe the textures of rocks and lichens.

Today’s page is a little uninteresting, but makes a good background for yesterdays, which has holes. #dailysketchbook #collage #tissuepaper #markmaking

Pieces of marked tissue papers, reminiscent of a landscape. Black and white

Stitched page with holes laid over my page today

#dailysketchbook #collage #tissuepaper

Black and white textural marked papers, abstract landscape, rocks/hills/water, torn edges

This one I started by making lines with a pen, then added pieces of marked tissue paper. I like building up layers and using some pieces upside down for fainter marks. #markmaking #dailysketchbook #collage #tissuepaper #abstractlandscape

Landscape inspired piece with horizontal lines in reds and greys. Lots of dark vertical grasslike marks which are layered over the top.

Today’s sketchbook using collage and stitch. A bit messy! #dailysketchbook #dailysketch #collage #thumbnail #tissuepaper #markmaking #freemachinestitch

4 tiny abstract thumbnails using grey and burnt orange papers. With grey stitched marks. Reminiscent of landscape as most of my work is even when not intended. I

Todays sketchbook page, collaged with tissue papers, from my big pile of papers that have added marks. Good to layer. #dailysketchbook #dailycollage #collage #layers #tissuepaper #markmaking

Abstraction and memory.

Scraps of cyanotype coated tissue paper - forgotten parts of other works - laid out in up to 6 layers as 'negatives'.

Sun reveals the constructed image. It reminds me of [ ].

And you?

It's a strange creative process.

Like searching for the memory of something you had forgotten that you remembered.

An abstract of what seems white marks on a greenish blue background which differs in shades all over the paper
The white marks look like brush marks. There is a main upright form centreright, with offshoots horizontally both left and right

Scraps of white tissue paper with dark painted brush marks. The paper is is multiple layers and there are many scraps

Detail from the first image showing white marks, blue marks and green marks with lots of tonal and textural variation

When coating with cyanotype there are often brush-marked edges I choose to remove.

Today I'm using these edge strips, from watercolour paper, to make a composite background.

I'm then using multiple layers of tissue paper edges to make an abstract 'paper negative'.

This is all held in a contact frame to expose for several days. Maybe a week.

Overlaid strips of white tissue paper with brush marks in grey-greenish blue, laid vertically, with a few strips of similar coloured watercolour paper laid horizontally across them

Overlaid strips of white tissue paper with brush marks in grey-greenish blue, laid in an abstract pattern on a rectangular base. Scraps of similar paper, a cutting board and a metal rule can be seen around them

Started some #metamorphogram (cyanotype mixed with origami) images.

Folded from archival tissue paper, which results in poor origami, but the image will be what I need.

Maple leaf, by Peter Engel. Argonaut and Flat Shell w/10 segments by Tomoko Fuse.

Exposing for... a while... in a contact frame.

Ably assisted by Border Collie.

Three origami pieces pressed inside a glass-fronted contact frame, for exposing. The frame is guarded by a Border Collie. There is a multi-coloured carpet and some bookshelves in the background

And finally, because we've used coloured threads for the sashiko on the front...

...and have stitched through the batting and backing...

we get a series of beautiful patterns on the rear of the quilt as well.

This was a lovely collaborative project. I hope to do more quilting soon.

Sashiko stitchwork in blue thread on a white quilted backing. The lines of the sashiko make an abstract triangular geometric pattern

The sashiko stitching adds so much beautiful detail.

It draws the eye to new patterns within the whole, and links sections through (here it comes...) a common thread.

Sashiko stitching on a geometric quilt in blue and white triangles, quite close up view

Using your sewing skills (or, in this case, with the collaboration of someone far more skilled than myself), the 9 cyanotype panels were joined together.

Cotton batting and a white rear panel were tacked in place.

To join the front and rear, lines of the pattern were picked out in hand-stiched sashiko...
