The I was written with a piece of balsa wood, and then lightly colored with colored pencil. The J was written with Sumi ink on Arches Text Wove and then rinsed quickly in the sink. I used a piece of Stimudent (Johnson & Johnson) to write the K, and colored one stripe. The L was made by writing with Duo Embellishing Adhesive, and when dry was dusted with Pearl-Ex powder. The scan doesn't show the iridescence, as there is a verdigris green shimmer to the Pearl-Ex Mink.
Carol - love them. Just had to let you know that one of the first things I did today in the studio was write with Sumi and wash it off - stunning! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI used your K as inspiration for my weekly lettering project: http://rodneyssaga.com/2014/06/22/text-art-sultans-miracle-man/. My version looked much nicer in my head. Ah well, practice, practice, practice. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI would like to spend time in your studio, you have such interesting inks and stuff and even better you know how to use them, I am learning so much from your posts
