I WAS SCRIBBLING away on both sides of some baking paper one day, as one does, though I didn’t have the excuse of any children to hand, when it dawned on me that the scribbles on the back of the baking paper that could be seen from the front added to the design potential (… from little acorns grew).
So I set to with a range of papers making my mark on both back and front in a variety of tools including graphite pencils, wax crayons, charcoal and inks. Fig 1 shows three different papers, which were from the left, white tissue, a yellow Japanese paper & greaseproof paper. The drawing on the back can be seen as a paler scribble particularly on the central sample.
This initial dawning was followed by two further discoveries, which I would like to suggest were intelligently thought through but in fact were one of those happy accidents.
