This was one of those backgrounds that I forgot to photograph. It was collaged National Geographic page treated with Citrisolv which causes the ink on the page to move around and created interesting abstract patterning. I have yet to find another high gloss magazine where the ink will dissolve in this way. This technique was promoted by Robert Burridge. I don't think he invented it but you never know. Be sure and have good ventilation when doing this. Even though Citrisolv has a pleasant odor, after a while it is overwhelming and nauseating. I found this surface very pleasing to draw on top of.
I took all fifty tiles to Critique this morning. We laid them out in the 7 x 7 formatted rows and then shuffled them around for the best balanced view. The help was much appreciated.
I had the unexpected honor of appearing in the latest issue of Palette Magazine and I am extremely complimented by the text of the article. Sharing a page with Picasso is heady company, for sure!

Hopefully not a scrooge, just careworn. I love the background colors, blue, green, white...interesting process with the Citrisolve too.
I did this technique decades ago in a great art studio course. So it was "invented" at least 40 years ago! and I remember how difficult it was to find a mag. whose ink would respond to any of my many attempts to dissolve and move it, but fun once I did manage it.
Interesting technique, using the bleeding ink from a high-gloss magazine. I would never have thought of that. Myrna, you are a champion!!
Loved seeing you in the Palette Magazine! You are such an inspiration Myrna!

I, too, saw your work in the Palette. It's where all the creative types are, that's why you are there!
