Last week’s prompt was to use a brayer to create the page background.\u00a0 I’m back using the brayer again this week, but this time in combination with Dina Wakley’s Gel Medium.<\/p>\n

Why? Primarily because there are a lot of ways to use a brayer and I wanted to explore other options, bringing us to this week’s prompt:<\/p>\n

Use a brayer with something that will act as a resist.\u00a0 It could be gel medium, though gesso, embossed images, and paint will also act as a resist.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ready to go.\u00a0 Simple tools this week.\u00a0 Dina’s Gel Medium<\/a> and a brayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I knew I wanted a completely random pattern of blob shapes, so I put dabs of gel medium on my table, then grabbed the brayer…<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And rolled it once through the gel medium.\u00a0 That provides distinct blobs on the brayer.\u00a0 If I had rolled back and forth it would have spread the medium out into a layer and that would have caused a roll of the brayer on the page to be a solid stripe.\u00a0 With that single pass through the gel medium done, I rolled the loaded brayer on the page. Twice, knowing full well that the second pass would provide less transfer of the gel medium.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the second roll of the brayer on the page it was time to load more gel medium on it.\u00a0 Same process as before, a couple of rolls through the gel medium and nothing more.\u00a0 See how the blobs of gel medium on the bench surface still have not rolled out into a smooth later?\u00a0 That’s what I’m looking for to keep those distinct shapes.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was no point in photographing the page with the dried blobs of gel medium since it was nearly impossible to see them.\u00a0 This is how it looked after I sprayed Twisted Citron<\/a> and Tumbled Glass<\/a> Distress Spray Stain<\/a> on page, once the gel medium was completely dry.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the spray dry, it’s easy to see the pattern of the gel medium, doing its job and acting as a resist.\u00a0 While this is interesting, it needs more.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I pulled out Dylusions Paint<\/a> in two colors: Dirty Martini<\/a> and Vibrant Turquoise<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 And then I got engrossed in the process and completed several steps without taking interim photos.\u00a0 Ooops.\u00a0 Sorry about that!\"2016-aja-week-50-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see the Vibrant Turquoise paint as loose applications of color.\u00a0 I used Dirty Martini with our 9″ x 12″ Wander Stencil<\/a>.\u00a0 The Vibrant Turquoise was added with my fingers, just smooshing the color around.\u00a0 I used one of the Mini Ink Blending Tools<\/a> to apply Dirty Martini through the stencil.\u00a0 I also used Dylusions Black Marble Paint<\/a> on the Mini Ink Blending Tool and made the area of small black dots using our 9″ x 12″ Punchinella Trio #1 Stencil<\/a>.\u00a0 The large black dots were made with the Mini Ink Blending tool by applying it to the page surface and twisting in a circle.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thinking the page lacked cohesiveness, I used one of the Lindy’s Starburst Spray<\/a> and added a layer over the entire page.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That pulled everything together in a way I liked, but it was a little flat and lacking depth so I recoated the big black dots.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Got out a white pen and drew around both size dots.\u00a0 I like this, but… it still seems to be missing something.<\/p>\n

\"2016-aja-week-50-12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I grabbed two of the rolls of Dina Wakley’s Printed Media Tape<\/a>\u00a0and added strips in both directions.\u00a0 Now I like it well enough to call it done.<\/p>\n
