antes y despues. Before and After.

Esto es un experimento. Es papel marron pegado a la pagina. Primera pintado con pinta azul metalica con mis manos, entonces con pinta de oro con un cepillo de pintura. Este es muy hermosa. No se que mas ahora. Estoy emocionada escribir en espanol sin tener que buscar cada palabra!

(so I put those words into the Spanish to English translator to see how I did. I only had to change a couple things!!! I had to look up "glued" and "paintbrush" and somehow I said brown brown. And I think there's a different word for brown paper bag color, but I don't know it LOL And the accents are not there, I don't know how to do that yet) well I asked what "light brown" is and it is marron claro. Just like azul claro and verde claro. Which is strange since "claro" means sure in English. Ok. Who knew. Now I do.

this is an experiment. It is brown paper glued to the page. First painted with metallic blue paint with my hands, then with gold paint with a paint brush. This is very beautiful. I don't know what else now. I'm excited to write in Spanish without having to look up every word.






antes de la pintura (before the paint)
















despues la pintura (after the paint)












no worries, I am not going to switch to Spanish. I've just been working hard, and I wanted to see how much I could write accurately in Spanish. It's been a long time, and a lot of review. It's coming back, slowly.

I got this idea watching a video of someone using brown paper varnished as a floor covering. How I got there I have no idea LOL but I wondered how it would look in a smaller scale. I did two pages of brown paper, the other one is not painted yet, and I'm thinking of dry brushing brown on that one. Right now I am just doing pages without planning, and who knows where I am going. But that's pretty true of life right now, I feel like I am wandering. So all ok. 

And I finished the "despues de pintera" on the other page. It kind of looks leathery, and is really soft, in contrast to the other page which is harder but shinier. It will be interesting to see what ends up on the pages.
