I'm a technique girl! Show me a technique and I can't wait to start playing and put my own spin on it! Amy's post really got my creative juices going! The first thing I did was start punching holes into masking tape! Check it out:
This is the center spine of my large every day art journal. I didn't have any of that cool hole-y drywall tape, so I punched large circles (1") into some masking tape with a paper punch.
And see that white edge on the left, above? That's where I peeled off some of the tape, as Amy suggests. You can see some negative space left from peeling tape in this photo as well:
Remember, you are the artist. Make the technique fit what you have on hand. Make it fit your personal style. For instance, instead of printing with a styrofoam cup, I printed with bubble wrap.
You can really see the shine of the gold paint in the photo above. I used Amy's paintsplatting method...
...and while I didn't outline the splats the way she did, I did use that teardrop motif she showed.
How about you? Did you take some time to play with any or all of these texturing techniques? Leave a link if you've got something to share!
I've got a brand new tutorial coming at you in just a few hours. We're going to be doing some collage with magazine pages. Here's a tease:
So grab some multi medium and meet me back here after midnight!
Thanks for stopping by!
