Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

ReplyDeletefun assemblage piece! I like how you juxtaposed the softness of feathers with the smooth hardness of the metals.
ReplyDeleteReally fantastic how you put all the pieces together and made them mesh. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOMG Jean. This is fabulous. Love all the details. And I thought the bottom was one of those bells you push for service at the front desk. How clever of you to come up with the aluminum cup.
