Well it is finally done :) I ummmed and arrrred and then Brooklyn art library went and moved the deadline from the Friday to the Monday and my decision was made. I got my finger out and did it. It resulted in some lovely free work. I photographed it and scanned it and then the night before I added to two pages so I colour photocopied it :) So here it is

Page 17 - Acrylic scraped paper and colour pencil and permanent pen
Page 18 - stamped page and colour pencil
Page 19 - Stamped page with biro under gesso and acrylic
Page 20 - Aluminium tape and magazine pages under scratched gesso with acrylic.
Page 21 - painted page with ink bob and closing the book technique, I worked more into this page too and will need to scan the photocopy.
I am really happy with it in the end, and to allow it into the world. I found working so quickly and freely a liberating thing and so will try to remember this. I did masses of research on stone inscriptions for this project and kept this in my notebook separately and so there will be more work I think :) Hope you liked it.

Bravo, Carol! It's lovely, rich and lively. Well done on completing this project. Squeaked mine in by the skin of my teeth but not very pretty to look at as was mainly words in the end. Glad to have done it, though.
