Experimenting

This page started as an experiment as I was testing a new (= unknown to me) technique.

You simply apply texture paste (or some thick paint) on a piece of paper. Next, you place a second paper on top of the wet paste and press together - then you quickly pull the two pieces apart. You get an intricate  seaweed-like pattern.  

[quote by Charles Dickens]

I used crumpled tissue paper around the edges to create more texture. I don't think I got the colours right, though... Somehow I had a different vision in my head and didn't succeed in transferring it onto paper.
