Ink Blot test
Mess Book
My attempt to make a butterfly by dripping ink on one page. I used a straw to blow the ink around, with hopes of a delicate veined effect. Then I closed the book to get the ink on both pages. Not a masterpiece? oh well (!)
Next I put the book down on the ground and dripped ink, some water, and a little paint,from 5 feet above. Lets just say the book looks better than my hands. Don't know how I managed to get purple ink under my fingernails. (hard to get out)
I love it!! The colors look fantastic. Great, beautiful messes. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it too Gemma. Awesome colors. Hope you are doing well amiga. I'm starting to get lazy again, tee hee. Enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteGemma, these pages are glorious. They look like batik fabric. in fact, you could turn these into gorgeous original fabric designs. Perfect for summer lounging by the pool.
ReplyDeleteYou created such beautiful patterns and color combinations! (I agree with Annie - I think the butterfly looks like a batik... Fantastic!)

My goodness Gemma, what a MESS you made. You are having so much fun with the mess book. Love what you are doing. :)
ReplyDeleteboth pages look great but that second one looks awesome... I am glad you have ink under your fingernails as I still have a blue streak in my hair from ink... it is slowly fading out!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really does feel great knowing you just can't 'mess up'... because that's the very point. It is indeed most liberating!
