Seth Apter recently asked me to be part of his online project, a collaborative between StencilGirl and Aladine, were Seth currently sells some really interesting and fun mixed media art supplies. I couldn’t resist the urge to play with some new to me art mediums, so myself, along with several other talented artists will be sharing what we created as we played with some very interesting new art tools.
You can find all the artist links to their amazing projects over at SethApter.com . And true to Seth’s generosity he will be holding a giveaway as well. You won't want to miss out on that!
I created pieces using both acrylic paints and Seth’s new IZINK ICE, which is a translucent glaze that I fell in love with when added into the mix using my Gelli Plate. I also added some of Seth’s new IZINK MY DYE Ink Sprays. The combination of these mediums was so beautiful and unexpected. I love how the glaze really changed the layers as they evolved. They are very dreamy in color. I have worked with inks before but something about how these two products combined resulted in colors and layers that made me want to keep experimenting.
I think my favorite discovery was how translucent the IZINK ICE was and yet it added a layer of color that allowed the layer beneath to morph into something new. The slightest hint of a change that had the power to change the entire look and feel the piece.
The IZINK ICE colors I am using are Greenland, Winters Night, Snowball and Polar Pink. I am using IZINK DYE SPRAY in Flamingo Pink. I also used the Botanical Stem Stencil/Mask, Botanical Wildflowers Stencils/Masks, the Longwood Florals Mask, and the Floral Frolics Stencil.
It is no secret that I love using my stencils and masks with acrylic paint and my GelliArts® Printing Plate. It’s always fun to see how different each of these patterned prints looks in its smaller, more detailed form. I can’t wait to add these into the pages of my of Pocket Journal .
