Doily Prints

I may have mentioned this but I love the idea of trying to reinvent objects with previous memories to them. i.e. my Monopoly ring series. Recently my mom handed me these old rubber doilies that my great-grandmother had under a glass tabletop knowing that I would find some use for them, which I of course did.


I call these 'prints' only because I have no other idea how to identify them. I created some of them much like one would when they make a relief print (painting on top of the doily and pressing down but some others I created in a much different way by filling in the in-between spaces with paint.  


It's still very much experimental. Although it is still the same doily how I apply the paint make each look completely different. Yet none of them are prefect, not all of the paint sticks to the paper, and sometimes it still dries too fast, so there are still kinks, but it's interesting how quickly it came to me.
