Eva Macie was one of
the
winners
of our Anne Bagby Giveaway.
Here's how Eva described her process on her blog,
I decided to create a 12" x 12" foam stamp using the craft adhesive
backed foam sheets. One cut into the buttery foam and I was hooked! I spent
hours, totally mesmerized, cutting little shapes and sticking them onto a
chipboard backing. Anne used canvas board, which would have been a better choice
because the adhesive pieces may have easier to reposition. In addition, it also
may have warped less with all of the wet paint applications. I mixed all of my
paint as Anne suggested, cut and ironed a stack of tissue paper and began
pulling prints.
After looking at the variety of prints I pulled from my foam stamp, I chose
one with a circle shape that I blocked out on the stamp . It looked Asian to me
so I decided use kimono as my theme. I applied a glaze I made, similar to
Golden’s asphaltum, to the printed tissue and then I stenciled the words
’KIMONO’. I created the kimono from one of my Citra Solv papers, which I printed
on a label and collaged this to the tissue print.
Isn't that foam plate great?! Thank you for sharing Eva!
