I’m hooked, I tell you…..I love creating Beauty out of Junk.  This substrate is a postcard throwaway from my junk mail box.  I retrieved at least 6 of them in a couple days of junk mail and proceeded to cover them front and back with gesso.  After that the fun begins!

I pull out my gouache, and just start smooshing watery color around…..and then leave it to dry.  (I actually prep a few of these at a time.) When I come back to it when dry, I just LOOK until I SEE something….Hey, it’s a dude!  And he looks native, tribal, oooh a medicine man. This guy has his Mojo On! Let’s go Green.

Mojo Man is available on my Notecards here.
