It isn't often that I am able to participate in challenges. I hope I'm doing this one right. My choice for entry at Art Journal Journey is "Vintage".
"Vintage Fashion"
Mixed Media on 8x10 canvas board
For the background I used newspaper, old sewing pattern paper and some vintage fashion images I had from who knows where. I used acrylic paints.
My intent when doing this work was to try a new to me resist. You see those 4 smaller images? I covered them with Vaseline. Yep! Then I covered them with the green acrylic - painting right over the Vaseline. When the paint was tacky but not dry I wiped over the sections I had covered and the paint came right off. I then carefully removed any remaining Vaseline with a soft cloth. I read about this method ages ago - sorry don't recall where. It was fun and I think rather successful.
So... that's my long Vintage entry.
Mornin' Darla. This looks like a very interesting technique - I'll have to try it one of these days soon. The little images in the background set the tone and compliment the face of the woman. Her hat says vintage by itself. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteYour resist technique turned out well, didn't it! I love the hats. A hat is such a key to period, I think, and these are great :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous results with the vaseline resist technique and the Modigliani like woman is great as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab page for the AJJ theme! Thank you for supporting us Darla! Hugs, Susi
Oh yes you did this perfectly right Darla. I LOVE this page. Your background green is my favorite color and that woman is really amazing! What a great choice and I am so happy you joined us at AJJ. I hope you might even think about joining us again at some point. (smile). Thanks so much for joining in. Hugs-Erika
