Playing with ink blots


The latest copy of Somerset Studio had an article about creating ink blot pieces of art. I thought I would give it a try. I thought mine all came out looking the same, like exo-skeletal insects. I did perservere however, and managed to get a little more creative using doing some drawing and collage to them. Here's my first one.

They are kind of funky and fun. Texture of the paint after it has been "squooshed" is quite amazing. All sorts of lines and veiny looking squiggles. I had done a similiar thing a couple of years ago by just putting blobs of paint onto shiny cardstock and then squooshing two pieces of cardstock together. Think I will have to do some more of these. I'm not sure what I will do with them. They would look good in a clip frame though.
