I am using a rolling presses to cut the copper feathers out of sheet copper. Each copper patina is different. The patina can have different colors such as deep purple, dark blue and turquoise. The bookmarks are attached to a 5” x 7” card.

I’m using a rolling presses to cut copper feathers out of sheet copper. Then I process the copper with household chemicals to get patinas that can be deep purple, dark blue and turquoise. The copper patina is sealed to the bookmark with lacquer. The bookmarks are then attached to a 5” x 7” card and are great for candy vending machines.

We’ve got a new tire cover for the trailer. We got the trailer over 5 years ago. The Zion sticker in the bottom right was the first trip in the trailer.
“Arizona Strip” The drought stressed the Arizona Strip in 2019. It hadn’t rained much on the Arizona Strip that summer. There were no Monsoons to keep the grass alive. We took a summer time drive out to Toroweap Grand Canyon Overlook. There’s 60 miles of dirt roads out to the Toroweap Grand Canyon Ranger Station. The truck kicked up clouds of dust as we across the Arizona Strip. We came across this long disused Coral. It looked like how the land felt. After the Ranger Station you get to where you need Four Wheel Drive. The top soil has been blown away leaving rock to drive on.

1/23 watercolor by John Gregg. Without Sioxsie the kitten paw prints. I had use the stippling brush to remove the prints.
Siouxsie snuck in to the studio. She tried to sneak on to the table to find out where the sound of the brush on paper is coming from. The top right thru the brushes was not expected. There is a reason for no kittens on the table.
I can get lost in my art work, as I add layers of color, and adding depth and texture to my art.
