I really enjoyed the staining process. The salt took a couple tries, but it eventually came out interesting and nebulae-ish. Then I promptly collaged over and hacked away at them and drizzled the whole lot in ink and acrylic. I have some of them up on the website. They just lack the delicacy I started out with, so for my next round I think I am going to challenge myself to stay delicate (but not tight, tricky tricky). I think I can accomplish this by sticking to watercolors only, or just being much more sensitive with the paper I use??? Or maybe finding a simpler way of incorporating everything, like PK suggested. Louise didn't like the graphic sweetness of the little facial illustrations and I agree, but some of them are necessary. Perhaps not aesthetically, but for the feelings behind it, yes. I have to learn how connect those better though. HMMMM. Varrrryyy trickyy!
