DLP Challenge Cardboard

 i love the graphics on boxes and was very attracted to the gingerale box I pulled from the trash.  I handcut around the different graphics then placed them on my page along with the crown. As my page evolved children's board games popped up and that is what I worked with. also on the small inserted page I used another graphic from the gingerale box "let's play" in the corner.

on the front and left inside I free-motion created the words "checkers" and "crown me" with thread. they are on fabric/paper I created several years ago. it has a fun crinkly texture to it. unfortunately my printer ran out of ink so I will have to reprint my pic. it is of a huge chess game setup on the grounds at Sandals Resort, Exuma Bahamas.

 

this page may not be finished but I did love the challenge.

Ink & Faces

Creative Jumpstart is so much fun, every day another new post of techniques and great artists from around the globe.  Today Marsh Valk had a great vid on cardboard.

 

my paper mache faces

painted my faces with Liquitex inks. quinacridone magenta is a little soupy

but as said in children's book "Goldilocks and The Three Bears"  Liquitex iridescent bright gold ink is just the right consistency for me.  love the glimmer too.

Amazing Corrugated Box Art

oops too much color on my paper at once, but can't wait to see what it looks after dries.

today on Creative Jumpstart Marsha did an amazing video using cardboard box. here is a wet, inked piece waiting to dry and you can see another piece above that. it dried so quickly after being pulled apart I could not believe it.  more paper ideas! come check out CJS with Nathalie.  it is so worth $20 bucks.
