INCREDIBLE video!! I've already been collecting textures by taking photos, but being able to collect them physically is so viscerally satisfying!

I started on my own copy-place book - a post-painting session tissue paper and a scrap of a torn rubber glove were the first victims :)

I've collected a bunch of posts to submit for the Bloggies this year, and I've already highlighted a few. I think I'll keep sharing a couple each day until submissions close.

Mostly to show off some great work this year, and to (lovingly) bully more people into reading blogs.
