Studio Journal: A Designers Workhorse

"In der Bildenden Kunst werden Frottagetechniken hauptsächlich eingesetzt, um ungewöhnliche Oberflächeneffekte hervorzurufen. Sie ist selbst künstlerisches Stilmittel. Farbflächen erhalten etwa die Struktur von Stoffen, Holzmaserungen, groben Steinplatten, Blättern oder anderem." (Wikipedia)

This is the first week and first lesson of the online class of SharonB in which I am taking part. I started with the easiest part, the frottage, the rubbing. I found many things which were useful as objects for rubbing off an interesting structure like basket work, skimmer, sieve, plastic mesh and lace. I will now have to compose a design in my journal - frottage goes on.
