What a neat technique! The word sounds fancy! Love it!
I have never used this approach and am excited that you are letting us in on the process. Your art room photo posts are so wonderful too. Hope you will have a great year. So glad to have discovered your work...love the colors and mixed media with vivid brushwork.
