Throughout Frances's life she has collected or gleamed such things as 'old headboards, hardboard, cardboard packaging - packaging, oven mitts, wicker trays, reciepes, photos, and various fabric. By using house hold object she collages, crafts and paints to create her art. Her art portrays a homely feeling with recognizable everyday items incorporated.
In my own gleaming experiences I have found myself collecting different pens for several years. By experimenting with them I have become familiar with there capabilities. I will use certain pens for particular styles of drawings to get the effect i want. Using several different pens in the same drawing, for thier different textures and effects it creates depth and adds more dimension to the piece. I will usually use a pigment liner pen for the out lines and a ballpoint for shading and sometimes a felt tip for the outer boarder of the main image. When i draw onto skin I will use pens that don't run, smear and get clogged up from the oil on the skin. I wil use a yellow or light felt tips for the grid or format of the base image, in the same manner as you would with a pencil on paper, for when the image is complete the light felt tip is hard to see.
I still keep certain pens from years ago that i do not use because I beleave they will come in handy one day. I feel as if pens are like tool to me and I try to find what a pens capabilities are.
