Playing with India Ink

Playing with India Ink & water.  Going to do an image transfer on this of a bird in a cage or some text.  Not sure yet.

Seeing Red

Painted this a couple days ago.  Was going to do a layer of purple and black over the top and scrap some of the paint off with a putty knife so the red showed through but I really like this as it is and am thinking of just doing an image transfer on it.  Going to let it set for a little bit and think about it before I go one way or the other.

Completed 3 Panels

This is how the 3 panels turned out for my cousin. Sorry for the low quality photo, I took it really quick then went to drop them off, but you get the point. =o)

Butterfly Transfer

This is how the butterflies turned out. I’m having a great time with these caulk image transfers! Think I’m going to start using my photos next. Need to buy some more boards first though.

More fun stuff to come!

On a roll

This shall be my next image transfer after I finish my cousins paintings. I laid this out in Photoshop using a modified butterfly font (putting those Graphic Design classes to good use). Man I love making cool stuff with butterflies! =o)

I posted this and looked at it again and I think I need to change the angle of that butterfly the second from the top, then it will be ready for an image transfer.

The Base

The base for my cousins paintings. This is (3) 18″x24″ panels. I’m rather happy with it. Can’t wait for it to dry so I can do some image transfers!

Under all that paper…

Was this! I rather like it. It may be hanging in my house soon.

Part of the Process

What’s under all that?! This is an image transfer using caulk. Won’t be ready for 24 hours. Sucks that these take so long but they turn out pretty darn nice. I have to leave my studio for a bit right after I do this step because I try to pull up the edges before it’s ready (because I get excited to see how it’s doing) and end up screwing it up.

Will post the finished product later.

Distractions

I was trying to clean my studio over the weekend to make room to work on the 3 panels for my cousin and this canvas was peaking out from behind some crap I had in front of it. I was head over heels in love with this background when I did it (over a year ago) but, in the grand tradition of Becca’s art, I was too afraid to go further. I FINALLY put the branch on this baby Sunday. I REALLY like it! I’m going to do one maybe two more branches then call it finished. Thoughts… Feelings… Please feel free to leave comments.

First Caulk Image Transfer

My first attempt at doing an image transfer using caulk. Used way too much caulk and got this weird line around the image. But on the up side, the image turned out perfect! Very happy with that part of it. Going to do some more testing on another panel. No more smelly Xylol for me (maybe this will save a few of my precious brain cells).
