I started this chapter by making myself a colour chart to focus the mind! I used Brusho inks for the chart and to colour the tissue paper and thin card. I coloured the mounts for my work with transfer paints. It's so nice to be working with colour again!

The coil on the right was cut in a similar fashion to making a paper lantern, across the corrugated card. The mount was coloured with Brusho inks.

I cut the corrugated card along the grooves this time, again based on a paper lantern.

I cut the corrugated card 'on the cross' and wound it into spirals. The base is modelling clay.

I used spiral shapes as a mask and took a print using blue acrylic paint, then moved the masks and took a print using yellow acrylic paint.

I don't have a 'paint' programme but I found these drawings on the internet.
