Altered Book Lover is continuing the tutorial for altering books.
The last session was on colour. I started experimenting with colour and my results are here.
While I was waiting for my drippage (sp???) experiment to dry I reread the homework. Oh my! I only needed a colour wheel that was made from magazine images. Yikes! I totally missed that. So I left the warm and cool pages to continue drying and looked for some magazines. I'm simplifying so I don't have too many. I actually found that harder to do than the fabric one I did a couple of years ago and the watercolour wheel I did a few months ago.
I'm not 100% happy with it but it is all adding layers of understanding to my colour and design abilities.
I received my new Gelli plate in the mail complete with directions. I also got a set of rubbings and 2 script stamps. I better read the instructions before I do anything fancy. I am hoping that the rubbing plate can also be used for mono printing on theGelli plate. More colour experiments coming up!
You are so systematic in your approach! I'm like you though, I always miss something!
ReplyDeleteI love the Gelli plate! You will have fun with it!
Fantastic job on your color wheel!! I can't believe you found all those perfect colors from magazines! I did like your fabric color wheel, too! You betcha you can press those stamps and rubbing plates into the Gelli plate! I can't wait to see the results!
ReplyDeleteLove your color wheel! It was such a challenge!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the color wheel you made. I'm impressed because I know you are really into color and have played with it so much.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's that Gelli Plate. I have wanted one of those ever since I saw them on a friend's blog. But the cost of even the smaller one stopped me dead in my tracks. Now I look forward to seeing your monoprintings.
never heard of the Gelli Plate so I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it! I think you did a fantastic job on the color wheel! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteI love your magazine colour wheel. The blues you found are much better than mine, but knowing me I'll update mine if and when I find something better - LOL BJ
ReplyDeleteFab colour wheel honey. Can sympathize with the struggle to find the colours in magazines - I am fighting with that myself too.
ReplyDeleteHugs x
I adore your color wheels. You are too funny about not reading the instructions first. At least you are enjoying the learning process of making art and playing...
ReplyDeleteHaha at last I have found someone else that doesn't pay attention to instructions. I am sure you have the colour wheel deeply embedded in your mind now though.
ReplyDeleteYour color wheel came out great! I was impressed with the fabric one in the first photo, too.
