Mixed Media

One of my favorite mixed media to work in is hand sculpted paper and airbrush acrylic. I begin the paper making process.

Then while it is still in a pulp state on the deckel, I sculpt the shapes I want using a subtractive method, before pressing out the excess water. I primarily use a toothpick to remove the pulp leaving the desired shape/design behind. In some cases as with the snowflakes, I used tweezers as well.

 

 

Cloud Lady   I love clouds and got the idea to make Cloud Lady when I bought a bathing suit that came on a plastic form. Much of the process was experimental and the end result was close to what I had in mind. I plan on doing a series, which this will be the first piece. The theme is mother nature.
