Sponging


These pages were white-washed and then sponged with very watery paint in a variety of purples.
I started out this day by remembering my maternal great-grandmother who was born on St. Patrick's Day in 1877. She died when I was 18.

The irregular white shape in the middle of the spread is a piece of practice calligraphy that I tipped in. It's a quote by Charles Lindbergh that says, "it was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty...where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane..."
