52 Weeks of Collage, Week 43

on

HOLE.

This collage was a fun exercise of playing with texture!   There's leaves, lace, a torn piece of watercolor paper, acrylic paint, abstract stamps with various sized circles and india ink applied with the pointy end of a skewer to make the lines.  And some wonky dots make with the cut end of the skewer.  Applying ink with a skewer is completely unpredictable, and I loved that.  

Playing with ink and a skewer was a fun rabbit hole.  I also used the technique on waxed paper!  So those bits and bobs will make an appearance next week.  It dries slowly since the ink can't absorb into the wax paper.  I wonder what would happen if I dropped a large blob of ink and used the heat tool to blow it around?  That sounds like messy fun.  Expect to see more ink on waxed paper in next week's collage.

I hope your week is filled with fun and messy rabbit holes.

Until Next Week,
