Lovely Colors, Lovely Grunge!

Another grungy piece--the head is a transfer and the text reads

give your saddest face
to another
take off your mask
leaving nothing

More Fun Pieces

More pieces from Julie Prichard's "Act Natural" class--I am having so much fun!

Act Natural--Glazing

mid-process on the left; finished on the right...

Love these two pages! They are in my 3 by 5 Strathmore Visual Journal--I dribbled watered down paint, glued down braille pages, gessoed with clear gesso, dribbled more paint, put some marks down with distress ink, sprayed it with water, then went over the whole thing with matte medium, then did a solvent transfer.

Even the paint at the edges from other pages doesn't bother me. Just like how this looks...

Had Fun With This--

Another grungy mixed media collage. I glued, ripped, reglued, sanded, dripped/pooled paint, used glazes, and rubber stamped (not necessarily in that order!)

More from "Act Natural" at the Land of Lost Luggage

Two kinds of transfers on this one--a gel medium transfer (the music) and an acetone transfer. Love the grid lines from when I laid this over the side of one of those mesh cube things and sanded! Then glazed over it and the glaze sunk into the raw paper...

And the paper at the top is from spray painting stencils that I cut myself!

Subtle Differences

 

Can you see the changes from left to right? Such tiny changes make such a big difference! And lest you think I'm morbid, the words come from the title of that particular chapter in the altered book...

The dragon is an inkjet transfer using gel medium and a print from my Epson printer which uses Durabrite inks.
