Unusual Mediums - edited

Concern has been expressed that may making 4 cards was a bit much. So lets make this much easier. One card, one partner.

For this swap, we will concentrate on mediums! (See the first lesson in the forum.) You will create 1 card for 1 partner, (for a total of 1 card). Use an “unusual” medium to create your cards. Don’t use any of the mediums talked about in the lesson. Look for something out of the ordinary. (I know a lady that boils leaves, and uses the residue to paint on coffee filters. That is an unusual medium! Use coffee, tea, or berries as a base.) Or, if you use an ordinary medium, use it in a way that is not usual. (Use a medium from one discipline as though it were part of a completely different discipline. Glue yarn or string down to make a picture instead of painting or drawing the picture. Make a whole picture using nothing but coloured glitter. Or coloured confetti. )

(Degas would boil his left over oil pastels down at the end of the day, dry them out, and use them the next day to create semi-transparent layers in his paintings!) What you will do with the mediums is entirely up to you – sender’s choice. Just make sure the medium is different! Because this may be taxing, I will give just a bit longer to do this one, so we can all come up with good ideas!
