This function on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 gadgets within the put up. Sometimes we’ll obtain a stamp, a stencil and a few Fresco Paints. This 12 months everyone seems to be getting an identical merchandise within the put up.
We’ve no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship, the entire thought of this problem is to do one thing artful in our private model with these 3 gadgets. We’re allowed to deliver different PA merchandise into the combo if we really feel it’s mandatory…I did not this time…
So let’s check out what I obtained from PA HQ …
You understand I am an enormous fan of recycling card, books and papers in my artwork and so I deconstructed the packaging bag to embellish the within of it in order that I used to be in a position to make a present bag. Right here is one aspect
…and that is the opposite aspect…naturally there are two folded sides to permit it to be a field form bag…you may see the main points of these as I clarify my workings.
I began by enjoying on my paper sheet that ‘protects’ my work area…this paper invariably turns into a part of my artwork because it’s the place I doodle concepts or play with color once I’m considering. So I began stamping the sq. half clock picture and favored the way in which that if I used it in ‘brick’ style I might create a spiral.
I then tried rotating the identical stamp 90* in a sq….I favored each concepts and thought they’d look okay as function designs on the entrance/again of the bag, so began trying a colourways.
I wanted to include the stencil design and so rolled out fresco chalk end Gold Rush acrylic paint onto the gel plate and rolled Darcy Marshall’s pretty tree design over that.
I took a few prints utilizing copy paper and rice paper too.
I then inked up the Scorching Picks stamps and printed them onto my gel plate utilizing Ranger Archival black ink pad. After I had waited for that to dry I sponged color over the designs on the gel plate and let that dry too.
The fantastic thing about printing the stamps onto the gel plate somewhat than onto a sheet of paper (or no matter you’re engaged on instantly) is which you can add color behind the picture. I added the Gold Rush over the chicken legs in order that it appeared just like the birds had been standing or dancing on sand.
Naturally I blended each Gold Rush and Niagara Falls collectively and created a ravishing creamy inexperienced color. I made a number of plain sheets of color in order that I might collage the bag.
I made fairly a couple of chicken photographs as I assumed these would look fairly settle down the perimeters of the bag.
The following step was to put the packaging bag out open and begin taking a look at positioning the plain collage papers I had made and the designs that I had printed utilizing the HP1007EZ stamp set
I discovered that by folding every part earlier than I glued something down was a great way to verify the design for every panel individually.
Quite than placing the massive designs central within the entrance/again space of the bag, I assumed it might be enjoyable to have the little birds peeking their little faces around the corners…so I moved the large design over to accommodate that thought.
I initially was going to depart the birds with color blocks behind them however I made a decision to fussy lower across the chicken form after which tear across the Gold Rush ‘sand’.
I glued the seam after I had folded the bag following the unique fold traces in order that the bag might fold down flat after it was reconstructed.
It was at this level I made a decision it will be enjoyable to have the birds reverse one another in order that the tails would meet on the inside aspect space of the bag.
I used the stamping platform to place the birds instantly reverse one another. The stamping platform allowed me to verify the entire picture of the chicken was stamped leaving no gaps. I assumed this could be the most secure choice because the birds had been being stamped over the seam of the bag.
I additionally used the stamping platform so as to add the function phrases.
I printed the block of textual content onto the plain sheets of Gold Rush and stamped the little automobiles on the gel plate and pulled the print utilizing a half and half mixture of Gold Rush and Niagara Falls onto rice paper. This created some enjoyable labels so as to add to the bag. I toyed with the thought of utilizing them as present tags for the bag…
I used them on the massive faces of t the bag as a substitute…
…they fitted properly onto the aspect too…
The rice paper was not solely nice for printing onto however it was a very good substrate to cowl the repurposed packaging bag to present it power however not be too cumbersome.
I notably just like the subtlety of the tree behind the collage design and the way I had mirrored the picture as a mirrored image. I do like how the birds are peeking across the nook of this aspect too!
This undertaking has made me consider how I might create extra of those but additionally how enjoyable they might be on material…I hope this undertaking has sparked some inventive considering for you too and that you’ve got loved what I’ve provide you with utilizing my shock provides…till subsequent time…
take care,
Floss

Oh! I practically forgot…I created the bottom for the within of the bag too…It strengthens the bottom inside…
