So yesterday, I took a monoprint I'd done previously and have been looking at for some time and manipulated it in Adobe Photoshop, cropping, posterising, applying the mosaic function and generally playing with the colour.
Maybe this is one of those diversions, or maybe not - time will tell, I guess.
Meanwhile, here are the results ...
... cropped and flipped through 90ยบ, colour manipulated and mosaic tiles applied to simulate a woven surface ...
... and a version flipped again, cropped further, colour changed and with stitch lines added ...
I love this kind of play! I've been cannibalizing monoprints that didn't quite become something, and having a great time. Trimmed pieces from one print are cut into strips and woven into the surface of another, with some interesting results. And some well-used stencils have been incorporated into collages on others. I look forward to seeing where your piece is going!
ReplyDeleteI love your thoughts! Weaving paper gives a lovely effect ... and there's always the thought of printing out my play pieces onto fabric and cutting those up and weaving with them ... mmm!
DeleteI will post any successful results.
Love the way you work! I also enjoy taking the time to play and asking "what if . . .?" It's the unexpected HAPPY surprises that make it all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for visiting.
DeleteSome more playing today - but first I have to finish tidying my work room ... I need space (both mental and physical) to play. Right now it's chaos - and so is my head!
