charting rainbows



MCP Project 52, Week 4
Soothing Repetition

My Project 52 set on flickr.

A quilt made of paper squares covered in random swishes and marks and imprints from brushes covered with excess paint from the color charts I've been working on; mixing all the reds I have with all the yellows to make oranges, all the yellows with blues to make greens, and all the blues with reds to make violet, resulting in a rainbow of 172 colors. 

I cut the squares of painted papers to size, "stitched" them together on the backside with small scraps of bright green masking tape and stuck the quilt to the wall for a spot of instant cheeriness.

I'm guest curating over at crescendoh.com this week! I've written a little essay and the site is linking to blog posts from some of my favorite writers and artists every day through Sunday. 

Gathering together links to some of the people who inspire me and sharing them on such a stellar website was super fun!  The whole experience makes my heart glad and grateful. 

Enjoy!
