cereal box, teabags, old journal page, studio waste, gesso, watercolor.  tacked to cedar board.

re: the woven-look of the background:  after using gesso and watercolor on the background, i glued on (with acrylic medium) some paper i had woven together.  i put on a dark watercolor wash and then wiped it off.  not liking the look, i ended up rubbing and peeling off the woven paper.  the watercolor that had seeped through the weaving left the image you see.       9×9-ish.
