​MAKING MARKS​ At a meeting in October, members of the ContempT (Contemporary Textiles) Study Group focused on mark making. Members contributed a huge array of marking tools for all to share, including dog brushes, tissue paper that bled colors, corks, cardboard paper rolls, cheese cloth, Saran Wrap, bamboo sticks, yarns etc. Acrylic paints and inks were used on watercolor paper, newsprint, packing paper and cloth.  The results were varied and amazing!This Study will continue at the November meeting.  Each member is cutting up the marked papers into 3-5” pieces to share with the other members.  Members will share the name and ideas of their favorite collage artist.  At the December meeting the assembled collages will be presented to the group.  Some will be small and exchanged with each other.  The small collages are perfect to mount on cards.

Chris Kesner called it a “deliciously” fun work session!”
