Both the repeated grasses and the quilting pattern which repeats in a checkerboard are good examples of rhythm and repetition.California Fiber artist and composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438651763194053429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-72293343007499886272011-06-25T08:22:53.595-05:002011-06-25T08:22:53.595-05:00Yes, the deli papers are exactly that!

Someone on Quiltart a while back was talking about them and like the lemming I am, I went out to Gordon Food Supply (GFS) and bought a box of what...500? in the larger size..they come int he small size like you see at the grocery store to select bagles, or bigger, like 11 x 13 or so sheets. They paint nicely and I'm going to have to mess with them to see about developing the translucent quality. One of the things which is sort of cool is that you can trap threads and cords underneath them or wrinkle them as you're applying them to give more texture.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment. :) Lisa Q.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360380.post-60535327317661096292011-06-25T06:06:43.515-05:002011-06-25T06:06:43.515-05:00Really nice piece, Lisa.

I love the texture of the seed heads. Do you mean deli papers like what they wrap food in? Never thought of that but I love the idea. Sorry to hear about all your difficulties.Sharon Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161304908727113546noreply@blogger.com
