What with 'thinking outside the square' being the essence of this group and the fact that they are all such accom</span><span style="font-family: arial;">plished artists I had to come up with a programme that would cater to their different media interests and satisify them conceptually. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">As a professional artist I can find it stressful at times to produce work that fits in with a commercial criteria or responds to a specific commission. While I have pride in finishing an artwork I go from one project to another so rapidly that I sometime loose passion for what I am doing. Rather than rant about all the other side effects of this such as <strike>turning</strike></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><strike> down work, pulling out of shows, </strike></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><strike>procrastinating.</strike> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I thought that maybe the COOTS group too would like a break from the pressure of completing work and designed a programme that was based on the idea that participants were 'Closed For Restoration'.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-B44CNehxib3a-Ta3WF0LG6b8OgcqKJzG4dPa3hLY4ecZkXMPVKev3fgCQiz-YjZW6MVyNlRHSdTJh05T-nWRGQDNFRVoftf0a18JNR-PiwxNrsksgBGTsBG0UbbAZ1UrFgC10qHDD0/s3818/pana.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="823" data-original-width="3818" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-B44CNehxib3a-Ta3WF0LG6b8OgcqKJzG4dPa3hLY4ecZkXMPVKev3fgCQiz-YjZW6MVyNlRHSdTJh05T-nWRGQDNFRVoftf0a18JNR-PiwxNrsksgBGTsBG0UbbAZ1UrFgC10qHDD0/w640-h138/pana.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Our accommodation in Bannockurn is located just above this spot, you can see we could have spent the whole 4 days soaking in the atmosphere. But this was a working retreat! </span><span style="font-family: arial;">My planning was influenced by some key texts: Alice Fox, <i>Natural Processes in Textile Art; </i>Jason Logan <i>Make Ink: A Forager's Guide to Natural Inkmaking; </i></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Helen Parrott, </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Mark Making Through the Seasons </i><span style="font-family: arial;">and an old favourite </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Roger von Oech, </span><i style="font-family: arial;">A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative.</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> These texts inspired me to ask participants to talk a walk or two in the months before the workshop. The walk/s were to be undertaken with intent, such as to focus on looking for one colour or to collect some 'treasures'. Then came the icebreaker. Due to a lovely donation of old glasses from </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Daphne Morshuis I asked participants to take a pair of glasses and use them to represent some of their walking. After initial surprise the results could not have been more fun and insightful. Embellishments were added, lenses scratched, the shape of glasses used as a way to write a story visually. Objects took on metaphorical meanings and discarded rubbish drew beautiful squiggly</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> lines.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihg7t7XkEBcbe_BQNrkgMKfdxSjDCGpnncgqXm1eqiwyt3j7FrxXjV04Vv4z8ep5e3IrZKdp2P3hCpvj3Gv5TWJTRnwhYLLoXrrCQUP58rnlpW9aGaTlZO-K_prW_R3vcH1e8B1i5dEi0/s3147/glass2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="999" data-original-width="3147" height="127" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihg7t7XkEBcbe_BQNrkgMKfdxSjDCGpnncgqXm1eqiwyt3j7FrxXjV04Vv4z8ep5e3IrZKdp2P3hCpvj3Gv5TWJTRnwhYLLoXrrCQUP58rnlpW9aGaTlZO-K_prW_R3vcH1e8B1i5dEi0/w400-h127/glass2.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB89Diy7yQtYzFGfLwiOFafxO2Y13nf4MfSjR_10wKbOu_XU0SQQqpWULraK46qvOR9U9tttkU-3NC6hrkA60ZSuAFEVCJxN-aGWiLLZBlG14TtmDh9T_Ye5hyphenhyphen5t43VACiGk4ksVviPIg/s2048/glasses.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1318" data-original-width="2048" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB89Diy7yQtYzFGfLwiOFafxO2Y13nf4MfSjR_10wKbOu_XU0SQQqpWULraK46qvOR9U9tttkU-3NC6hrkA60ZSuAFEVCJxN-aGWiLLZBlG14TtmDh9T_Ye5hyphenhyphen5t43VACiGk4ksVviPIg/w400-h258/glasses.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span><p><span style="font-family: arial;">When I went to art school my husband (a lecturer there at the time) said that students who were open to trying different mediums succeeded the most. He might regret saying that now as my leap frog brain finds it difficult to focus on one medium! So I made working with found materials, paper and inks our main materials, </span><span style="font-family: arial;">rather than textiles. While there was tension in that participants wanted to work on fabric and kept asking me 'could you wash that?' (a real world constraint that I had to stamp out) eventually the idea that they could do the same or similar techniques on fabric after the course all was good.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: right;">In </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: center;">von Oech style we progressed through the course applying mainly 'soft thinking' for the first three days.

When the tape is removed later the blank spaces frame areas of intense energy. Inadvertently we can respond to the edge of a page and subsequently make more cautions marks. We also studied mark making by analyzing sections of Van Gogh's drawings.

To be truthful, I'm probably more interested in how beautiful handmade paintbrushes are in their own right - objects of simplicity, character and potential. Not to say that the marks that were made weren't dynamic, stunningly painterly and energetic, art works in their own right, but I think you'll agree these are divine objects.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been using Instagram as my social media platform of late, I like the visual nature and speed of it. This year has involved a lot of art projects and travel which has been immensely fulfilling and exciting, so I have had little time to write up a post. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've just returned from teaching a workshop with the COOTS group. COOTS, what does that stand for I wondered after I was approached by the group to facilitate a workshop. One of the things about teaching different groups is it is good to make the workshop fit the needs of the participants so I like to have communications and a bit of prior knowledge. Google told me that Coots are small American water birds but that didn't help any! No indeed, the acronym stands for <i>Central Otago Outside The Square</i>, hence the meeting place for the retreat being in Bannockburn, a central location for people to travel to. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I gave the workshop a title/theme of <i>Poetics of Place</i> as this is general enough to provide a focus but allow for projects which individuals may already be working on. My focal lens was not actually needed for this group however, I was excited to discover this group were very versed in art making methodologies of brain storming, keeping visual diaries, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">researching, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">linking concept with making.

Quite a swag for a 4 day workshop but we took over the well appointed Bannockburn Hall, created a darkroom and tapped into our energy reserves. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Learning and working with three processes in a short time is not for the fainthearted. The creativity of combining the processes however was enormous , with many original and organic results emerging. I enjoy teaching when I cannot answer many questions, when the only way we can see if something will work is by trying it out. Wendy's stencils made out of transparency film got coated in paint and worked deliciously, blocking the light on her fabric cyanotypes. The combination of rust and coating previously dyed fabrics provided other levels of interference that was very successful. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To produce our image screens we coated 43T mesh screens with photostensitive emulsion, dried it and then exposed them under a 500 Watt Mercury Vapour UV Light. (Hanging off Gilbert's ever handy tripod) The imagery was drawn or photocopied onto transparency film and 'secured' onto the screen with a piece of 4mm glass to get good contact. Our little A4 screens fitted well under the lamp and took about a minute to expose. For the larger ones we did a one minute exposure on half and carefully slid the screen along and gave another minute on the other half. After wash out in warm water of the unhardened emulsion the screens were given a post exposure of ten minutes before use. This pop up exposure unit worked very well, I love my light as it is also useful for cyanotypes if the sunshine isn't playing ball. I got mine at https://www.ideal.co.n and while the light is an ok price the expensive bit is the fitting. :-( </span><br />

Wendy had a connection with a place I have always wanted to photograph, so getting permission becomes a possibility.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Coccolithophores are a group of microscopic phytoplankton found living in earth's sunlit oceans. These single-celled algae are surrounded by armoured plates ('coccoliths') made from calcium carbonate (limestone). They are vulnerable to ocean acidification; coccolithophores will be threatened in future ocean phytoplankton communities, with potentially dramatic consequences for the global carbon cycle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The course of the week is structured with some time each day

then expend from this base working on their own projects and goals with
support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will cover printmaking techniques that
lend themselves towards abstract and painterly effects through mono, rust and
offset printing. Resulting prints can be integrated with solar printmaking which
is an accessible process capable of producing detailed graphic and text plates.
Further interventions such as hand stitching, piercing, cutting, folding and
encaustic wax can then be applied. The results can remain as samples or be
taken further: stitched into a book, a ‘quilt’, collaged onto substrates of
foam core, mdf and laser cut out shapes or resolved as a three dimensional
assemblage like a figurine/puppet (check out ‘bricolage’ for ideas) or
jewellery. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the weekend of 3rd and 4th of June Stewart Island locals and visitors came together for a Photography workshop with Graham Dainty http://www.photofiordland.co.nz/ and a Cyantoype workshop with me. We also enjoyed a fabulous shared meal and evening talks! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #3d85c6; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Little bit of info: The cyanotype process
for making prints was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and came from his
discovery of the light sensitivity of iron salts. It produces a deep indigo
image (known as Prussian Blue), which can be printed onto many surfaces. English Botanist Anna Atkins </span>used the process for what is considered to be the first work with photographic illustrations, namely her <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions</em> (1843). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was invited to make an art work of the St Margaret's College Welfare Staff </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">@</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Otago University </span><a href="https://www.stmargarets.ac.nz/" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">https://www.stmargarets.ac.nz/</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I have done this previously and always enjoy the interactions with the staff whilst taking their photos. This time we began by making some bubbles which helped everyone relax in front of the camera. Lots of images were captured, trees were climbed and everyone looked gorgeous.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I could have made an artwork from one of the group photos but I liked the idea of having images that were clear and readily identifiable. Portraits were shot in front of a green screen which I later removed in Photoshop. Then I processed the photos through my favourite online tool ever, Photofunia. <a href="https://photofunia.com/effects/sketch?server=3">https://photofunia.com/effects/sketch?server=3</a> Because it is a long complicated affair to turn a photo into a sketch in Photoshop this filter seems quite magical to me. The resolution is not high but it is enough!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some images translate more successfully than others, it helps if the photo has a degree of contrast.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After making the plates I spent a couple of days printing them onto paper through my press whilst trying to decide on colours, backgrounds and layout. In my mind there are a couple of factors which influence my choices. The College has a very classic feel and the already collected art reflects this style so I choose to print in grey tones. (Perhaps spurred on by the fact that I had just purchased a new tin of </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gamblin</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cool black ink.)

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Consideration number two is that this group is very much a team,so I think their portraits should work together to make a whole. Often in compositions something is dominant but here I want to show equality. I was initially going to do a row but when I laid everyone out I realised I had made a miscalculation. The backing paper was not available in a big enough size so instead I cropped the prints into 10 x 10 cm squares and chose a grid pattern. This produced a small dilemma. With 11 staff there is the what would I use for the 12th square? I trialed lots of things - a koru shape from a sculpture in the College grounds, infinity spirals, the year 2016 stencilled. I needed something that faded back more and did not 'compete' with their portraits so printed lots of +++'s to signify the positive effect these amazing people have. I look forward to seeing the achievements of these amazing role models in the future. Thanks for involving me!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was involved in judging this photography competition - a hard the task as many clever people are capturing interesting and dramatic images of earth, space and science. Part of the judging criteria was the scientific explanation behind the photograph - these statements certainly expanded my knowledge. We unfortunately did not have enough prizes to honour all so we put a lot of focus on encouraging young photographers/scientists.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After getting a taste of printmaking at last years SciArt open print workshop weekend some participants asked me back to run a four day, small group workshop. Megan Cowley (Stewart Island Gallery and Gift Shop: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/StewartIslandGiftShop/?fref=ts">www.facebook.com/StewartIslandGiftShop/?fref=ts</a> ) volunteered her services as technician and Karen was the treasurer which was all invaluable as printmaking requires a lot of 'stuff' and organisation in the buildup to the decisive moment that the print goes through the press. Thank you so much - we made a great team! Megan even made a special trip to Fine Art Papers in Christchurch to get good printing papers. (Just have to do a little plug for these FAP- they have served artists well for years) <a href="http://fineartpapers.co.nz/">http://fineartpapers.co.nz/</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Participants didn't just draw and print. They each focused on self selected projects and collected research which was 'played with' and considered before being made into plates. We then wrote poems, did visualisations and asked ourselves questions - all of which supported the visual art making and helped define choices. A wide variety of plates were made - dry point etching, gelli prints, solar plate (relief and intaglio) and off set printing from a flat of colour. Jill </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">even had some old photographically etched zinc plates </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">from movie advertisements which we printed off for fun.</span></div>

This small, jam packed interesting museum has big plans for expansion. I Bev assisted me in looking at the Lockerbie collection which contained a beautiful piece of Kokowai (translation: red water) which Maori used for personal adornment and to decorate artifacts. I was also fascinated to learn about the tin mining at Port Pegasus - sounds like a future destination via <a href="http://www.auroracharters.co.nz/">http://www.auroracharters.co.nz</a>/Trips/Port-Pegasus.asp</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was thrilled to return to teach at the Autumn Arts School in Wanaka for a week of print based mixed media explorations. The aim was to be involved in pursuing individual artistic vision through reinterpreting traditional methods of working, considering ways to structure a project/theme and seeing ourselves as artist inventors/experimenters. Sometimes it is easier to take a risk and make discoveries in a workshop situation!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One of our first activities was offering up work we had previously made that we considered a 'failure'. Everything was up for grabs and students could take whatever they wanted to create a new artwork. It can be less threatening and easier to be more objective about someone else's work. Having a wide selection of visual source material makes the reinterpreting</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">/collating/design process hands on and full of choice and the interventions of what was offered combined with what participants brought to the work was very interesting. </span></span></div>

Some collagraph plates were gorgeous in their own right.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">In mid September Jenny Rock and I</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 17.12px;">went to Stewart Island</span><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"> to facilitate a printmaking workshop and exhibition </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">along with assistants Elsie Percival, Ellen Sima and
Lydia McLean. We advertised a ‘Printmaking Workshop with an Island
Conservation Twist’ in the Stewart Island News, outlining the workshop goals
and theme. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Basically,
a weekend ‘drop – in’ printmaking workshop, which was offered to locals and
visitors, that was to be subsequently exhibited in the Community Hall the following
weekend. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 107%;">Attendance was free and
people could elect how they stayed and participated. Inclusion was a goal but
our team did experience a bit of teeth gnashing. Would anyone come along? Or
would we get too many people and not have enough materials? How long would people
stay? This unorthodox approach was a
deliberate trial to begin exploring how printmaking could create a platform to
encourage community issues to be expressed in new ways.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">A ‘drop-in-do
-a-print’ scenario may not sound unorthodox but our workshop had a specific
conservation and biodiversity focus linked with a major local (and national)
controversy about methods of predator-control.
The art work being produced needed to link with content and concept, not
just look ‘good’. We resourced some relevant, specific imagery by a variety of means including photographing moths, bones, native birds and eggs from the collection at the Otago Museum, downloading PDF's with images of animal tracks </span><span style="line-height: 17.12px;">recorded</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> on tunnel papers, gathering poison information sheets (eg. Brodifacoum), looking at SIRCET's website and did a lot of internet searching in general.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"> Some of this imagery went on a resource table for inspiration and reference and some was translated into digital negatives suitable for make relief solar printmaking plates. High contrast black and white is needed to produce a relief plate and so I manipulated images in Photoshop as much as I could before printing them out. A challenge was that a lot of the available imagery was in a low resolution, so while this is ok for online viewing the definition may be lost and </span><span style="line-height: 17.12px;">edges</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> are pixelated or jagged. With the example above of the Chewed Pate I had to draw into the printed out negative with black pen before printing the negative onto transparency at Uni Print. (The toner needs to be dense enough to block the light and so it is best to use a quality commercial printer.)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am always going to be biased about printmaking, always top of the list for me partially because printmaking exists in a community. Print shops grew out of a need to share equipment and technical knowledge as well as to have a creative environment to work in, where work can be discussed and ideas can be exchanged. However, we asked ourselves if print was the best medium. Setting up a print workshop takes a lot of time, money and equipment. Hence it is largely not taught in our school systems but perhaps this is an advantage, most people came to the workshop with little or no experience which is nicely democratic. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Making or selecting your own printing plates followed by printing images and words becomes an act of self- publishing which strongly enables people articulating their own opinion. The ‘multiple right ways, no wrong answers’ philosophy flowed into the conceptual responses of the participants and resulted in some works being ambiguous or titled as questions. </span><br />

It was in this exhibition space that the platform for discussion really happened and workshop participants also commented that they felt a heightened awareness of ecological issues since the printmaking.</span></span><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 17.12px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><br />

returned to the makers. There were many useful outcomes from this trial which

making some information and technical videos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Working in the eco art realm means attention must be paid to materials. We worked with solar plates, gelatine printing and oil instead of solvents. We asked participants to bring ferns, feathers and leaves which printed effectively. Two participants, Nic and Di, came to look at the workshop then walked along the beach and collected rubbish. They subsequently printed their finds and made us all swoon in admiration. Next time we could include more collecting of samples and materials from the local area and items could also go to create a specific children’s printmaking table with stamps made from corks and bottle caps etc. More focus needs to go onto nontoxic printing inks.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Our team of artists and scientists worked quickly to absorb as much as we could about each other’s fields while making some lovely relationships with members of the Rakiura/ Stewart Island community. (We even fitted in some recreation - thanks to Megan for swift tours of the Island and Ulva for a tour of Ulva Island. There was also the Boot Camp experience.) We all want to return! I loved that printmaking and art felt so purposeful. This venture had the support of many people and companies but I would like to give special mention to SIRCET, the Stewart Island Rakiura Community & Environment Trust, for their contribution. SIRCET's mission is to "pursue projects that will enhance both our community and environment". sircet.org.nz/</span></div>

Elsie presented her own project ‘Our Island- Conservation on Rakiura’ on Stewart Island in a parallel exhibition at the Community Hall the same weekend. Her Rakiura/Stewart Island specific art work and photographs were displayed alongside plants from the Community Native Plant Nursery (SIRCET) and trapping equipment from DOC. The photo below shows some of the portable exhibition kit, named The Sandpit, that the variety of her work was curated within. Elsie’s thesis and other in-depth writing on the ‘Our Island’ project is planned so I will link that to here when she publishes her blog. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A challenge of the project for me was using imagery that was theoretical and not something I was initially aesthetically attracted to. After some time I found my voice and added in things that were optical grids to me, such as a crochet doily pattern. I had a frenzy of over printing and layering some prints towards a point of visual confusion to communicate my difficulty in learning about the quantum world. Discs were then cut from the </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got inspired by a pin by Janina on Pinterest which links to her blog -<a href="http://janinascasa.blogspot.co.nz/2011/12/guest-list.html">http://janinascasa.blogspot.co.nz/2011/12/guest-list.html</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Scoring magazines was the easy part - plenty in N.Z op shops. However I could not find a stockist for Citrasolve. I tried Desolve it, also a citrus based cleaner, but it was not strong enough. I could not stop there so Googled and found another citrus based product d-Limonene.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ordered it, tried it - found it really hard to wait the 30 minutes for the reaction to process and I could not find a sponge brush. Some success though - but on my trial ones I found the intensity of the marbling and colour a bit full on for my intent. Instead I came up with this method which appeals to me greatly - the pages create beautiful backgrounds which will work well interleaved into pages of a tactile sketchbook.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was an enjoyable process to do - creating a process sense </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of under erasure/ the palimpsest</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><br />
