How to Make Cloth Paper

Easy!

Lay out a huge scrap piece of paper under your art work.  You can use poster board, papertowel, fabric like muslin, watercolor paper...

When you are doing your paintings, wipe your brush off on the poster board, papertowel, fabric, watercolor paper...splatter your filled paintbrush over the poster board...flicker the brush or the ink pen, dab your marker, make a doodle, write an idea, practice lettering, take some gold, and swipe your brush, keep going, but keep wiping that brush or pen on a different spot...see what different colors look like next to each other or on top of each other...stamp, use those stamps that are sitting in a box or in a drawer tucked away and repeat the pattern of the stamp over and over again, add a piece of paper towel on top with some modge podge or matte medium onto the poster board and let it dry, rip up collages that you don't like and paste them on, you may even end up with a special piece of artwork this way!  OR you can rip it up and use it on another piece of poster board.  This is a piece that was in transit of change.  I have recently cut it up to make butterflies for a mystery muse swap at Artellaland.
