Colored with Walnut Ink



I’m discouraged that my collages look so amateurish, while everyone else in the class is a true artist, making beautiful creations.  But it’s a joy to be working with tactile treasures—
paper colored with walnut ink
     with iron filings
gold and silver leaf
pages of music
gilded wine and cognac labels
bits of old maps—
working on large drawing tables still dusty with charcoal
