Kasia's lesson for Week 9 of Wanderlust
was about making your own marks on differing surfaces & layering.
I chose a white fabric base for this page,
so I concentrated on the marks & layers rather than the background.
I used Dina Wakley Media acrylic paint (Lemon & Ruby) for my "leaf" shapes.
The paints worked well on the fabric
The paints worked well on the fabric
I used one of my silicone tools instead of a paint brush.
I created the same pattern on white tissue paper.
The tissue paper has an almost waxy feel, which is quite interesting.
Then the same on old book paper.
Once dry I added Distress Crayon (mustard seed & spiced marmalade).
Detail added with a white chinagraph pencil
& Stabilo All black pencil.
I went over the black pencil lines with a waterbrush
& I like how it bled out on the fabric,
creating a shadowy grey.
Not as many layers or as much detail as Kasia's page,
but I think I will leave this one as it is.
I can always cut this one up into pieces to use elsewhere ...
or buy some embroidery threads to add some stitching ...
