 Technique 1a

Watercolored with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Markers on Dry Watercolor Paper 

 Technique 1b

Watercolored with Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Markers on Wet Watercolor Paper

Title:  Blending with Markers Technique

 Technique 2a

Blended Pigment from Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry Markers Directly on Watercolor Paper

 This was interesting.  I covered all the flowers with Spun Sugar.  Then, I colored the edges of the flowers with Picked Raspberry.  Finally, I used the Spun Sugar marker to blend the two colors.

 Technique 2b

Blend Markers on Craft Sheet

Following instructions, I layed down some Picked Raspberry marker ink on my craft paper.  Then, I dipped the brush tip of my Spun Sugar marker in the Picked Raspberry ink "puddle".  Once the two colors had blended on the Spun Sugar marker tip, I applied the Spun Sugar marker to my tag.

 Technique 3

I colored directly to the rubber stamp.  I colored the main body of the peacock with Chipped Sapphire marker and the tail with Peacock Feathers marker.  I colored the beak and legs with Gathered Twigs marker.  I blended the edges of the Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers.  I stamped a piece of lightly glazed cardboard and let the watercolor peacock dry for several hours.  I then glazed then entire tag with Vintage Photo ink which proved to be not dard enough, so I recolored withWalnut Stain and then used the spritz and flick technique.  Analysis:  Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers colors are so close to being the same color, I should never have used them right next to each other.  After I glazed the entire tag, I could no longer tell the difference between the two colors even though I vigorously buffed the tag.

  Title: Marbled Stains Technique

I used bright Distress stains with white Distress paint in the middle of the stains and created this luscious, milky background.  I then used archival ink to visualize the stamps.  I used white Distress paint because I did not have any liquid Picket Fence.

CC101, Wk1, Day5B

 Title:  Stamping with Stains Technique 

I used Distress stains to lay down bright colors on a wet tag.  I then cheated because I did not have Picket Fence stain.  Instead, I used white pigment ink on a musical notes stamp to lay down a foundation for white embossing powder.  I dried the embossing powder which gave me a lovely, lilting music staff across the tag.  Then, I used purple archival ink to stamp a peacock.

THCC101, Wk 1, Day 5A

 Title:  Kraft Resist

I created two submissions for Technique A today.  I did not have Kraft Resist paper, so I made my own by using Liquitex Varnish.  The left example of this technique is a map; I painted the roads with Liquitex Varnish which, when it had dried, made the roads resist water-based inks.  On the right, I painted the flowers with Liquitex Varnish and then covered over the page with Distress inks.  The flowers shown through because they had been painted with varnish.

THCC101_Wk1_Day4

  

Here are my submissions for Day 4 of the Summer 2016 Creative Chemistry 101:  

A) A stamp colored Ranger reinkers, and B) layered misting technique in which I used reinkers as sprays, laid down a layer of ink sprays, and then sprayed a stencil.

Summer2016 CC101 Wk1 Day3C

 Title: Stamping with Reflections Technique.

This is the last assignment for Day 3.  While the instructions called for using a Tim Holtz Texture Fade, I had to use something almost as good:  An embossing folder with a decorative pattern in concert with a Tim Holtz accessory that creates unembossed areas within the overall embossed tag.  I used a white-core piece of pink cardstock and stamped it with butterflies.  The shading around the perimeter comes from Ranger Distress Inks.

   Title: Archival Resist Technique

Here is my Creative Chemistry 101, Week 1, Day 3B submission to the terrific art class I am taking at OnlineCardClasses.com .  Unfortunately, I cannot upload this link or submission 3A because the link is down.  Also, the CC101 Graduate icon has returned with no sight of the CC101 Participant icon (thank goodness I saved this to my computer).

Oh, well.  I can wait.  The goal of this exercise was to stamp with archival ink on a card and then completely cover the card with water-based ink like Distress ink.  After buffing the card, the archival ink images are revealed because they are oil-based and, therefore, resist the water-based ink.  Cool.

Onward to exercise 3C.  This one is beautiful, and I can wait to do it.

UPDATE:  The OCC network appears to be going through a fail.  Weekly videos cannot be downloaded either, and the ability to do that is part of the class.  SOOOOO, I bet the OCC person at the other end of my email won't know I emailed her/him.

Oh, well.
