As addicted to Gelli printing as I am, I was watching a video about faux marbling by Birgit Koopsen who achieved a fabulous effect using frayed hemp. Now John may have hemp rope in the garage, but in the current state of flooding, that building was temporarily off limits, so I pulled out some cobweb to try instead.
While the first two prints look a little gloppy,
I finally remembered to pull the cobweb material much finer, and this first print, with four layers of paint, looks pretty delicious.
The ghost print from the same series, is yummy too,
and the haunt print has picked up some lovely undertones of blue from the first couple of prints. I LOVE it when that happens!
Naturally, I'll save the painted cobweb for something interesting too - maybe a journal page, or added to the crazy bathroom curtains I have on the go, or what if I saved it for the original intention, and created a really unique Halloween display?
While the first two prints look a little gloppy,
