I love that you experiment.

It's so much fun watching it all melt together, isn't it? You must try the ultra-thick embossing powder that you build up in layers and then stamp into - so much fun!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490102426728960849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-38160451066828296902018-04-28T06:44:24.002-06:002018-04-28T06:44:24.002-06:00It was a blast, Sim!

There is just something about playing with another artist that stimulates those creative brain cells, perhaps because art-making is normally such a solitary pursuit. However, I am in awe of your (Deann's too, of course) ability to create such beautiful paintings digitally, so there are tradeoffs everywhere.

The oxides are most interesting for their pastel look on most papers, but the transformation on photo paper with the wipes is magic!

I had great fun with them when Lynne got me going, though, and I can see an order coming up! ;-) Your Masterboards are lovely and so varied that it boggles the mind. And given the three cans of fixative in my cupboard, it's unlikely to be a problem when it comes to sealing them. :D Have a great weekend, my Masterboard friend! xoWin Dinn, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03175735509853498545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-90908632838418327832018-04-26T14:15:43.447-06:002018-04-26T14:15:43.447-06:00Oh Win, I cannot believe that this is the first ti...Oh Win, I cannot believe that this is the first time you have worked with Oxides! I am totally in love with them and hardly use any other inks now. As you know I produce lots of Masterboards and these inks spread so easily on paper and card and react wonderfully with water the only disadvantage with this is that it really needs to be sealed but that can be done with the Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze or an artists spray sealant. Then of course there are the reinkers but that's more fun for another time.
