#aags30daychallenge Day 11

Today was circle day.  I added three sizes of circles in 3 different colours.  Interesting.

#aags30daychallenge Days 9 and 10.

I saw this done on a Youtube video and I was impressed so I thought I would try it.  Sadly I didn't bookmark the vid so I can't go back to see what happens next. It is a 2 part technique so I did it over two days.

I put a heap of heavy duty acrylic onto my canvas in two colours and white and the got my fingers into it.  The idea is to develop lots of texture and then I left it to dry. Below is Day 9 development.




Day 10 and I had to rotate my canvas and do it again.  Makes for very interesting fingers and anything else I touch.  Then with a plastic card scrape all over to make lines. Fun and messy.  What next? No idea.




Close up look at the texture created.

#aags30daychallenge Day 8

I am certainly not as consistent as some of my friends who are doing this challenge.  No matter here is my latest effort.

After scaring myself silly with all that white I decided I needed to have some colour.  The paints I used here are sample pots we got at Bunnings when Louise and i did my lovely Elinor.  Small i is to signify the small amount I did in our 'collaboration'.

I bought a nice sponge at the reject shop and here is the result. Certainly prefer it now and I see lots peeping through.

#aags30daychallenge Day 7

Oh my gosh!!  What have I done?  When I say that I don't know what I am doing I am sure nobody really believes me.

Today I decided to cover my canvas with white paint.  I spread it with a girt card and then to get really excited I blotted it off with paper towels to add some texture.  Well that's what happened and now what??

Enjoying watching other players especially Roz and Colleen, but I think they are more in control of what they are doing than I am.  We will see what the next chapter brings.





Here is a closer shot to share the texture.

#aasg30daychallenge Day 6

I'm not being very regular with this challenge.  I think I lost my way because I just seemed to be going over the same places and not getting anywhere.  So today I did a background in a little journal a friend made for me...AND...I had left over paint!! So what's a girl to do?  Use it up!!

So here we have my latest and brightest.  These are Delusions paints.  I did the yellow with the tube from paper towel and the green is MY FINGERS!!!!








And just for fun my little journal background:



This 30 day challenge may keep me busy till Christmas the am I am going.

#aasg30daychallenge #3 & #4

Day 3  Decided to have another try at getting drips.  They worked but I am not so impressed with the outcome.




Day 4.  I was doing some gelli printing and the light bulb flashed.  What would happen if I cleaned my brayer on the canvas??  Let's find out.  And this is what happened.  Just some surface scrapes of pink and yellow.  Cool!!




Here is a close up view of part of my canvas with the brayer work.  Interesting I do believe.
