I'm feeling the winter blues these days and needed some kind of pick me up. Cuba's not in the budget this year, so I did the next best thing - bought new markers! I also sprang for a couple of sheets of TerraSkin paper. This stuff is made out of rocks and a non-toxic resin as a binder and I have to say that I'm fairly impressed. It's much more environmentally friendly to manufacture than other options ( and it behaves well with every medium that I attacked it with, from acrylic to oil to pastel (oil and chalk)...and my new markers of course. These are some of my results.

So you liked the Terraskin, did you? I thought you would! That little postcard I received on Terraskin a while ago has now worked its buying magic on both of us.
The painting I showed you used collage (it glued onto Terraskin beautifully) and acrylic paint, which almost seemed to sink into the substrate, though the manufacturers say the paper is non-absorbent and allows paint to sit on top!
We'll have to keep each other appraised of our experiments on this paper. I am so glad I showed you mine to date. . .
Hi Carol, yes I'm glad too! Seems that the only limitation so far is that you can't put it through a printer due to the heat - but that's no big deal. There are other ways to transfer an image as you know.
