WOYWW173
Good morning! Another missing in action week last week...I will endeavour to get round everyones desk today though, promise!!
I've been trying out colour schemes for a project.... had an idea in my head which in the end didn't work out, which means I can show you as its not one of those pesky secrets!!
I did this by putting blobs of ink onto the card, then giving it a quick blast with the compressed air to splatter them. The black splats are watered down paint , flicked onto the card using a mini bottle brush. The resulting background turned out way too busy for the thing it was meant for......but I liked the effect so made lots! The finished piece I'll show you was from a previous background with more black splats...can't decide whether less black or more black works better!
I so much prefer doing the black bits with paint, inks just aren't dense and opaque enough for the effect I like best!
For any one out there who doesn't follow WOYWW yet, hop on over to The Stamping Ground , where Julia our esteemed hostess will share links to hundreds of crafty blogs...and then go have a sneaky look at what the world is up to today!!
Have a great week,
Trish xxxxx

Oooh...I love a splashy background. Beautiful work! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh at #11
ReplyDeleteDang. Really loving that - and I so agree with you on the ink - black paint is well and truly BLACK, black ink, not so much. although I do have some liquid Drawing ink that is pretty darn black, but not tried it for this sort of effect so don't know how it'll work. Must experiment....

The black splats are perfect although I always tend to over do it and over think. Yours is definitely bright and cheerful.

OHhhh
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the PNE (a big sort of fair and exposition in Vancouver.
When I was a kid, every school childd got free tickets to the PNE.
There was a booth where you could put paint on a paper and then they put the paper onto a spinner where teh paint then spun out onto the page.
Thanks for giving me this fond memory!
Happy WOYWW a little late!! I LOVE the way your experiment turned out!!!! The colors are great together!
