I received an event mailing the other day that insisted on becoming collage material.

So my studio time was very tactile today. I love the physicality of tearing paper, the zen-like reflective meditation of tugging apart paper fibers.
After fragmenting the save-the-date card, I got into kindergarten finger painting mode again as I did a few days ago, though my paint this time was actually paste—matte medium, to be precise. I love the physicality and directness of using my fingertips to spread glue and then press into place bits of collage.
Please gasp and laugh with me:
Passing By has passed by, and
Just Kidding is back being mischievous and playful.

Wonderful! It's so much fun being tactile. Now I know why I have been saving my RISD weekend card!
Yup, I love getting/being in the tactile making-art zone. Have fun with your RISD event card!
So fun. Oouuus and ahhhs over here! The tiny masterpieces continue to amaze! Have fun sticky fingers :)
Sticky fingers! Thanks for the encouragement, Sheila. No master plan, as you may have surmised.
Very freeing. The collage bits are a great colour to add to Just Kidding. Love the last detail photo - can see some of the lower layers peaking through the veiling, like the neutral at the top against the 'blue' and all the bits of colour and texture.
Yes, very freeing as soon as the first step is taken. What surprises me, over and over again, though why I would be surprised when the same thing happens again and again is anyone's guess, is how quickly I get attached or boxed in again! It is fun to have lower layers throw their voices back in the mix periodically. Thanks for your comments and cheerleading.
