I thought I hadn't done a step-out set of photos for ages, so here goes. It's fun to look back and see how something came together because you don't always remember. This is a simple page - it's just what happened :)
A bit of collage - a large piece of the paper I made last week with spray inks, some circles from a Chinese dictionary, and a bit of gesso applied with bubble-wrap.
Acrylic paint applied with a baby-wipe brings out the gesso pattern.
Simple outline applied through a stencil. The shadow is done with water-soluble graphite. I was a bit heavy-handed with a couple of them. The different papers reacted differently so the dark bit at the top couldn't be removed. Never mind.
A little bit of border on one side.
The stencil reminded me of flags, hence the words.
But which colours am I nailing up? Then it came to me - claim the name of artist and don't be embarrassed by it!
The letters needed a bit of outlining and some extra colour.
And here are some details:
Love the layers, the colour and the sentiment - well done!
