Footprints in the Snow- Print

October & November 2012

 

I got out a piece of cardboard and applied a layer of gel medium. I then painted the background with a dark green color. I added some leafy things on top and then applied another layer of gel medium. I decided to get creative and use the type of stuffing that you put in pillows to make it look like snow. I added many layers of gel medium on top of that.

 

Print- Ink

October 2012

 

I used ink to paint the base of this print. After it was dry I etched out the flower and then painted it back in with a yellowish-white color. I tried to add a little bit of texture to it. I used the same ink to make the dots in the corners of the square. Lastly, I took black ink and made a feather coming out of the flower.

Print-Tempera Paint

October 2012

I used tempera paint to paint different designs on my print. It never actually was printed though because it did not work.

Jelly Bowl 1

September & October 2012

 

 

This is my first jelly bowl. I started out drawing a circle on a type of wax paper. I filled that circle with a thick layer of gel medium. Then I added a layer of leaves and colored tissue paper. I applied those with gel medium. Then I added the wire to the bowl with another layer of gel medium. My last layer was a string around the center of the bowl. After it was all dry I bent it to the shape I wanted.
