When I create textured papers for printing or collage, I think about:
- Using a variety of lines, thin, thick, curved, even, uneven, and so on
- Finding some harmony in the chaos by the time I am done and
- Combining colors in a way the leads the viewer to a focus
I like to give myself time to come to a place where I am happy with the layers.
I also work on 10 or more papers at once so that I have lots of opportunities to succeed.
I have put together a kit of 8 thermofax screens that are great for creating layered, textured papers.
The kit includes:
- butterfly
- dragonfly
- scribbly handwritting
- “love”
- “create”
- 2 spyrograph drawings and
- circular pattern
The imagery is simple enough to working to many different projects. You could use many of the screens together, as I did in today’s project or you could use them separately to make, cards, t-shirts, napkins, aprons, tablecloths and much more.
