...to entertain me. This week, among other things, I've been experimenting again with distressing photos , to see what other fun techniques I can invent.
 |
| Opal-cat, spritzed with water, and scraped with hard plastic knobbly scraper |
I had fun using different implements-the above photo of our Opal reminds me of Van Gogh's self-portrait with its frenetic energy. That's definitely suitable as Opal in her 'teen years was a whirlwind.

| 99% alcohol dropped on photo, sanded |
I found that alcohol gives a diffused effect compared to water. The slightly blurry feel reminds me of my brain on wine.
 |
| Epson Salts in warm water, sanded |

Incubating Summer Mixed Media by Win Dinn
Note the water-distressed photo compared to the Epson Salts distress above. |
There was no discernible difference using the Epson salts in water, so I'm assuming there is no chemical reaction at all. I also tried bleach rather than water, and could see no change there either - didn't make the photo cleaner at all!
Do you have any suggestions for further experimentation? All comments and suggestions gratefully accepted.
