Cloth Paper Scissors - March/April 2009 - (Page 37) with texture 1. Apply a generous coat of matte medium or soft acrylic gel to your painted and collaged surface. 2. When almost dry, use a dull-pointed tool such as a knitting needle to make random marks, patterns, or handwriting in the medium and allow to dry. 3. Rub a contrasting acrylic paint into the texture using a stiff brush or your finger. Immediately wipe the surface gently with a dampened cloth or paper towel, making sure to leave some of the paint visible in the crevices. You can repeat this step as many times as you like to build subtle layers of color and texture. note: If you are not Photoshop literate, or are not interested in digital alterations, you can simply find or create an image, mount it on an 8½" ¥ 11" sheet of paper, scan it, and then print it onto printable cotton. The result is your starting point and your substrate; it does not have to end up as the central image of your final collage. 2. ¥ You can make plain cotton into printable cotton by ironing freezer paper to it and cutting it to 8½" ¥ 11" to fit your printer, but I prefer the convenience of ready-made sheets. I do use plain muslin (backed with freezer paper but not printed) as a substrate sometimes, if I want a piece bigger than 8½" ¥ 11". Then I use the printable cotton for collage elements. 3. “Pedestal” • 81⁄2" ¥ 123⁄4" • “Unlike the pieces using Greek vase painting imagery, ‘Pedestal’ began with a printout of a small collage study I’d done a year or two ago. At first, I simply extended the color areas with quinacridone gold on top and ultramarine blue on the bottom, dividing the composition into two unequal parts. Then I added another image—one of my Greek layered images from the original series printed out on cotton—and filled in the top background with yellow squash quilting fabric (from one of the fabric collections I’ve designed for Free Spirit). From there, I added a few more collage details, then stitched the beads on for a final touch.” 4. 5. ¥ C P S
