My paint was a splattered mess. I needed to soak my plate for @ least an hour in hot water if i had any hopes in removing the paint mess. I had used thousands of different mixes in order to complete an english assingment where i chose to paint a scene from Pride and Prejudice but incorporate Jane Eyre imagery, boy i lucked out! But alas! Instead of boiling the plate and removing the foot marks to my creative path..I will start a new creative path. I began to chip off the dry paint clumps with scissors and and a knife. After 30 minutes and a large pile of pure colored and tie dye colored chips, I applied them to my next idea. I spent another 30 minutes cutting out scraps from the Sunday Styles section of the NY Times and i used these newspaper scraps, all carefully selected from articles about painting and bouquets of flower arrangements, i used them to collage the replica face of a woman! I applied the paint chips to the eyes of the newspaper woman, and drew funky red glasses out of charcoal around the paint chipped eyes. I drew MArilyn Monroe-esque hair in ink and pencil (are they the same?), and lastly cut out Rocky Horror Picture Show lips for my main ladies lipz!! She is wonderfully beautiful. I feel like ive created a frankenstein, but a frankenstein to my own taste and artistic style =)
ps. i HATE smiley faces like this > :)
