Another one that was so much fun to make! These are really great to make when you feel like being artsy, but don't have the patience for any details. I made this on a paper that they wrap glasses in at the store (I bought something breakable at World Market). You know, that really cheap paper? I just poured (more like squirted) pretty colors of acrylic paints all over the paper, using white as the last color I added. Then, I folded the paper over so all the colors are kinda smushed.
It kind of gives you the feeling of fingerpainting - you know how there's no "wrong" way to finger paint? It just is exactly the way it's supposed to be. Even though this only takes about 5 mins., the process of pouring paint all over, then folding the paper together - leaves me with a great feeling afterward!
In the previous picture (below) I added Mod Podge, and that protects the paint, but it also makes for bad pictures because of the shiny-flashy factor. So, no Mod Podge here.
Anyways, I'm planning on using this paper for my 1st paper mache project - when that will be done, I don't know. It has just finished drying & now I've got to begin the sanding process. Wish me luck!
Ingredients: cheap paper, acrylic paints
