I went into this week with an idea of what I wanted to do – use stripes – but my initial foray into putting\u00a0them on the page didn’t exactly yield stellar results.\u00a0 Because I’d gessoed the page first I was able to use Dina Wakley’s reduction stenciling technique and our Bubble Blast to add pattern and remove color.<\/p>\n

I’m getting ahead of myself.\u00a0 The first step was to add gesso to the page…<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which I did after masking off the other side.\u00a0 I scraped on Dina Wakley’s White Gesso <\/a>using her Palette Knife<\/a>, and then let it dry.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I selected colors in Dina’s line of Heavy Body Paint<\/a>: Blackberry Violet<\/a>, Ocean<\/a>, Turquoise<\/a>, and Lime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added the colors one at a time, using my finger as an applicator.\u00a0 Starting with Turquoise, then on to …<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ocean.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then\u00a0Blackberry Violet and Lime.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I repeated Ocean and Turquoise and each time I added a stripe of color, I blended it with the one next to it.\u00a0 And… yuck.\u00a0 I don’t like this at all.\u00a0 It’s definitely not what I had in mind when I thought “Stripes!\u00a0 I’ll do something with stripes this week”.\u00a0 Since the paint is still wet in spots and at least a little moist in others, I can use Dina’s reduction stenciling technique and get some of that awful color out of there.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m using\u00a0our Bubble Blast<\/a> stencil and a baby wipe and will\u00a0remove paint by wiping through the openings of the stencil.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Marginally better, but I’m still not satisfied.\u00a0 Gesso makes many things better and it what I’m going to use to salvage this… mess.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Better.\u00a0 Not great, but better.\u00a0 Ah gesso, how I love thee.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m still stuck on the idea of stripes and am determined to add them to the page and not be revolted by it.\u00a0 Toward that end, I decided to bring in some of the Extra Long Rectangles Sticky Snippets\u2122 <\/a>\u00a0and arrange them vertically on the page.\u00a0 This is a sheet I’d made previously and the colors work with what I’ve done so far.\u00a0 Happily.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Better.\u00a0 Way the hell better.\u00a0 At last.\u00a0 This looks good, but I realize that the Sticky Snippets\u2122<\/a> stripes are blending into the background a bit.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a black PITT F – Fine tip pen<\/a> and the Omnigrid 1″ x 6″ Ruler <\/a>and lined along both sides of the Extra Long Rectangles.\u00a0 Now the stripes are more distinct and I like the look far better now.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Horizontal stripes are my next step and since I didn’t have any black cardstock, I cut strips off one of the Square Black Dylusions Insert Sheets.<\/a>\u00a0 Initially they were the same width, but I didn’t like the way it looked, so I cut one\u00a0in half.\u00a0\u00a0I like the look with the narrow and wide strips.\u00a0 The black is high contrast against the background and now I’ve got horizontal stripes too.<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Auditioning some colored and cut shapes…<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And decide that Virginia England’s Funky Flower #1<\/a>\u00a0looks better alone.\u00a0 And that the black stripes look better with some white pen work.\u00a0 I used a Sharpie Water Based Fine White Paint Pen <\/a>and added dots and short dashed lines.\u00a0\u00a0 I really like this now, but there’s too much open black space, so I used the same white pen and added text…<\/p>\n

\"aja-week-26-16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And called it done!<\/p>\n
