I think I have confessed before that I am a You Tube junkie.
When I am stuck, like recently when I decided to try using more collage in my work, I always
turn to You Tube for help and new ideas.
Beyond the "dirty pour", there is another viral idea out there. That is using Citrasolv and National
Geographics to make unique papers for collage. You can look it up for yourself to see how it is done, but I hustled off to the Goodwill Bookstore and bought two old National Geographics and ordered Citrasolv online.
This is NOT a pleasant process. It stinks and it is messy.
You have to lay the pages out to dry
And here are some of my results.
I thought the results were amazing. In some cases I could just pick a 6 x 6 area
and frame it and be done.
I did two magazines so have pages coming out of my ears.
Hopefully next week I will have some new collage work to show.
Wishing all a Happy PPF

My single orchid became triplets. I love it when that happens.

Hi Susan, yes Citrasol is fun. I forget what are the dates of Nat. Geo to use instead of new ones? Your pieces are wonderful. I can't wait to see what you have done with them.
What interesting results you got! I haven't dared to try Citrasol because of the smell, so thanks for being brave enough to give it a go. I'm wondering if you'll be using it again, tho?
