This week in my mixed media class, we painted sketchbook weight white papers to make a co-ordinated set to do some collage with. As well as patterned papers, we made a collection of solid papers in varying values to use as quiet areas (not shown). I look forward to see what will come of this exercise, but whatever happens, making the papers was FUN.
Enjoy!
Beautiful patterns and colors. So creative!
ReplyDeleteSharon, how did you achieve the cool crackle paper?
ReplyDeleteHi Paula: The crackle is a commercial product by DecoArt called Weathered Wood Crackling Medium, but you can do the same thing with white glue.
