Description
Lots of fun playing with this one though. Basically this is from imagination, with a photo used just to check the dragonfly shape.21 x 14 (half sheet) watercolour on masa paper, which was stuck down to 140lb HP paper.

I really find this interesting.The massa paper is certainly a success and I think it suits the subject well.What do you use to stick it to the w/c paper?

Thanks Janie, sorry I didn't reply sooner.
I used basic PVA glue, watered down to equal parts water and glue. Possibly not the perfect method or material but it worked! lol

Thanks a lot Ruth. I've used PVA for collage but I wasn't sure about the massa paper. Much obliged.

Beautiful Ruth Simply beautiful. Did you get the interesting network patina by cumping the wet masa paper then stretching and drying? Very effective. Barrie
