Pulp Painting in Spring

Sometimes I want to celebrate circles as design elements in my work. That and alliteration. The 8 1/2 x 11 base contains tulip and daffodil stems and leaves I cooked in my fiber pot with chemicals, then couched (pronounced "cooch" - it's a French thing) the colored circles of pulp directly onto it. So this is a single piece of paper - a pulp painting. The vibrant colored wet pulp dries many, many shades lighter.
