Journal 6

Every women can relate to a fairy tale...at least thats what my friend Mamie told me when she was taking a class on the sociology of fairy tales. I thought about it...over bearing father...lots of sisters... the little mermaid of course.

I spent a lot of time on this page. The tail is collaged from individually dyed pieces of paper. I kept the original words in the book and stained the page before drawing over it with sharpie.

This experience is all about not erasing and letting what happens stay on the page stay. It drives me a little crazy but I think I'm better for the experience of going for an image without being able to correct after the fact.
