Swap Due Date - Friday August 2nd
Number of Cards - 3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of participants -unlimited
Medium: alcohol inks on Yupo as well as clear surface,
such as acetate or clear film
Awhile back I hosted Neuro Art .That art had a specific technique and one might have thought the art would be the same. No, there were so many variations. So this alcohol ink swap also has a specific technique. It is kind of like making a sandwich.
1. First layer is Yupo or another nonpourous surface. You want to cover most of this surface with inks. I am fascinated with lines of ink....some stay narrow & others expand. Or I still like those drops of color. Whatever you like.
2. Second layer is a small lightweight something. I used dictionary text on one of my cards, some punchinella on one & a used postage stamp on the last. You could paint acrylic on small paper piece, or rubber stamp something. You do not want to add thickness.
3. Third layer is clear. I used plastic film. Clear acetate would work. Or plastic packaging. Again, something nonporuous. And you do not want to cover the whole surface. Actually you want some empty spaces.
4. You have to attach the layers together. Glue, brads, tape around edges are options. I used staples on my first one. One at the top and one at the bottom. The 2nd two were hole punched on the bottom and top and tied with string. Also your 1st layer must be adhered to something sturdy such as watercolor paper or thin cardboard.
5. both inked layers must be 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. i usually make something larger and cut out the most interesting parts.
6. Include at least your user name, location & date on your card backs. Insert card into sleeve.
