Description: | |
In round 1, 8 of us sent out our postcards with our chosen backgrounds done on them. For this round, we will now choose from the lists of techniques and applications found below to add to the postcards we received. In round 3 and subsequent rounds you will look at the back of the card to see what applications and techniques have been used already. From the list below choose one application and one technique that haven't been used and apply them to the card. Put your name, the date and what application and technique you applied to the card in the appropriate space on the back of the card. Cover over your address with your partners address and send forth. :) The last person to add to the card will choose any unused application and technique from the list, apply them to the card and send the card home to the owner. Some Inspiration Ideas: TECHNIQUES Plastic bag printing Napkin transfer Gelli plate printing (on other paper or directly on the card) Stamp with ink or paint using a random household object Freehand painting w/ acrylic Apply some watercolour paint Tape transfer Doodle Apply a rub on or (as an alternative maybe a carefully chosen sticker) Apply some color with either Gelatos, Pastels, or crayons. (On other paper or directly on the card) Use a resist technique Apply some texture with modelling paste, thick gesso or other method APPLICATIONS Rubber stamp image Glue magazine or book image Add several dots Add at least one circle in any medium Add an arrow Draw 3 lines Rub ink on the edges Add a letter either with paint or ink Add 3 stars Add found word or phrase Add a symbol ($,&,@,*,%,#,¥,£, etc) Add a small embellishment or two (keep these flat) Add paint or ink using a stencil or piece of sequin waste I'm going to allow only the same 8 people who signed up for round 1 to join this and subsequent rounds. This is to prevent this from going on too long and to see how this is all going to work. Have fun! |
