I heart paper projects!

This afternoon I took one of my mom's china dishes, my dad's bottle of shaving cream, and my family's food coloring....

And I produced these with some of Garth's resume paper. I'd like to think of it as a group project. I also like to think that they came out rather well!! I'm happy anyways (except that the paper smells violently of shaving cream now).

THOSE ARE COOL.

I like the red/olive combo.

I am still puzzling over how you go to using shaving cream.

Your parents must wonder "what has Marianne gotten into this time" an awful lot. I mean, who thinks to use china, shaving cream and resume paper to create art?

I used to think I was creative, but after I met you I had to stop calling myself that out of sheer embarrassment of my obvious LACK of creativity.

Thank you Laura!! That's actually quite a compliment!! I always thought of myself as very technically gifted in art, but not very creative... and it's so nice to have someone remind me that I actually am a bit.

Timoni - I wanted to marbleize paper, and I needed a medium for the pigment that was clear/didn't leave color and would wash away easily. Shaving Cream works well ^_^
