For the past two days I have been soaking up mixed media ideas, getting glued to the You Tube to the point of feeling light-headed. There are so many ideas which I want to try. Today's experiment was inspired by Journal Arista's "Mixed Media Stencil Packing Tape Transfer," which I highly recommend viewing for oneself.
The presenter did mention not to use stencils with small parts, and yes, it was difficult removing the packing tape from most of the stencils I used. After soaking in warm water, the paper backings sometimes came off almost intact, but usually I had to scrub the paper off to get see-through transfers. These "skins" can be used over inked or painted backgrounds on journal pages or other collage pieces.
(I realized I should have photographed the magazine pictures before I started, but- oh well, too late.)
Here are a few of the stencils and end results:
 |
| Tape over stencil over picture |
 |
Peeling tape and picture off of stencil after soaking
in warm water |
 |
Overlapping rows of packaging tape
peeled off of stencil |
 |
| The original picture fell off in the water- yay! |
 |
| Stencil taped to picture |
 |
| Tape peeled off of stencil after soaking |
 |
| The picture survived, minus holes of course! |
This was a fun experiment. Would I try it again? Maybe... Now- to use the results on a project!!!
