This is one of my favorite backgrounds. I will be sure and use it again in a larger piece. Naturally, I forgot to photograph it before I drew on top. I am finding more and more that I have to take action immediately or the thought is gone and may never return. It is a help with my procrastination tendencies but not always convenient.
This background is various washi papers glued down with some torn Tyvek thrown in for good measure. I painted the papers after they dried then did the ink drawing on top with my Lizard's Lick #4 from Cheap Joe.
I sent the book off into cyber space to be printed. I hope the images bleed out to the edge as that is how I wanted it. I am not sure that is how it will turn out. There is a feature while you are creating the book that shows you what will get cut off so I sized each image to allow for that. The preview of the book shows a white border around each image, which is not what I wanted. I'll have to wait and see if I need to make any adjustments for future copies. I plan to add some photos of the event in future copies but I couldn't wait to see a finished copy of the book. Impatient as always!
Your drawings are so much fun on the various background. There's no way I could pick a favorite. No wonder you can't wait to see the whole body of work published.
ReplyDeleteAs I remarked before, running out of adjectives ;) love love the background and your drawing is so sensitive! Good luck with the book!
ReplyDeleteI too like this background, Myrna. It looks like marble!
ReplyDeleteThere is something hauntingly wistful about this one.
