Experimentation

Hello Ladies,
    Many of you have expressed interest in using photos and other images. This video shows another way to transfer an image to your structure. Also I found a very cool technique using spray paint. Check that out.







     Now ladies, which of these techniques are you interested in trying? Tell me why it appeals to you. Also, are there any art media you want to work with that you have not tried yet? Colored pencils? Watercolors? Markers? Pastels? Let's get you excited for next weeks experimentation! I will check each night and respond to all posts.

  1. I’m very interested in trying the Gel Transfers, it appeals to me because I love how photography is involved. I also googled some other images of what Gel Transfers look like and I think it looks pretty awesome. I really want to try using some colored pencils or pastels at some point.

  2. Sara,
    I am experimenting this week with the transfer methods. I will show you what I came up with. Yes, colored pencils and pastels are media that you can use at any time.

  6. Molly,
    We have better quality watercolors in the back storage. Let me know and I will get them out. I also have a great technique book you may borrow.

  7. I really like the spraypaint one. It appeals to me because I like abstract art and I like making designs that you cant control. It just seems like it would be really fun, and also easy to do. I like the stuff im using right now for my projects so I really don’t need anything else.
