drawing | coat

i collaged a coat here, in november 2014, labeled rara avis. too funny, but thought i could mention it. today i will continue experimenting on a lick of paint or a coat of colour {my walls could do with a new coat of paint too}. 
i've been staring down vimeo and youtube films on braying paint all over: mono, stencil, screen, stamp, collagraph, ... you name it! 
and last night i leafed through the few printing books i own. which brought me to 'leaf'. {good to feel the green, green morning grass of home 'tween my toes}. and print. and experimenting on the oldest print application on earth, possibly. patrice's coats this weekend.

  1. ah yes, your rara avis posting, a good one - as always...
    I imagine you as a person wearing lots of coats and under each one there is a suprise, like a neverending wonder box.
    "look what I have here and there and..." and for sure there is a fresh green springtime coat, too!

  9. Yes your older post fits perfect the coat theme and a good one I would say. And short after talking about print making you start over and with what results - very nice those leaf prints. I'm curious what comes next!

  10. a coat of color, I can definitely relate to that one (though your coat from 2014 is perfect too). and when it comes in green, I am in! it is the green from my bathroom and guest restroom btw., and it always makes me feel refreshed and safe equally. thank you for sharing the creative process, on top. guess what I will be trying over the next days ;-) xo a.

  11. Love those prints! It's been ages since I played with printing some nature things. Chloe just did some printing with her children class using gelatin and fern leaves. I must ask her how she did that, such beautiful results. Your prints would make fantastic fabric prints Nadine, for something lovely and spring time. :D
