Making a colourful mess.

I had a lovely time yesterday, painting various types of paper. I spread sheets newspaper over a large sheet of plastic to protect the dining table, then put my pieces of assorted paper, etc., on top.
Above is Bondaweb which goes into lovely ripples when you paint it with very watery acrylics.

Then I did a couple of sheets of Tyvek which, in case you don't already know, has a plastic feel to it and distorts drastically either with heat from an iron or heat tool. It makes lovely beads if cut into narrow strips and rolled up before heating.

Things get a bit tricky now, as I can't remember exactly what papers I have here. I am hoping these are heat distressable tissue which I have never used before. The piece on the left has a lovely crinkle to it, the other two are smooth but the central one refused to come away from the newspaper it was lying on. I wonder why, when I managed to lift the others off. I shall still use it as the colours are so lovely.

I don't know what this piece is, though it does have a plastic feel to it and I think it will do strange things under heat. We shall see. I really must be more efficient and keep things labelled in future.

These two pieces are lightweight Lutrador which has a lovely filmy look. I do like the way the runny paint has gathered here and there.

When I was clearing up, I found that I had bonus sheets of colour where the paint had gone through the very thin pieces onto the newspaper below...............

I also noticed this readymade image of standing stones in a misty landscape. The newspaper had stuck to the Lutrador in places and this is what I saw on the reverse! I wasn't planning a piece based on standing stones, but I might have to now.
