May Creations and Experimentation

This is an assortment of traditional tiles and ZIA's I created during the month of May.  When I was in Maine with my sister, mother and brother, my talented artist sister gave us a quick tutorial on monoprinting.  When I returned to California I acquired a Gel Plate to continue the print learning process.  I was also inspired by some tiles that Laura Harms, CZT did using a black gesso string.
