Kelp-Inspired Masks in a Variety of Roles

 How to finish my daily posts about my kelp-inspired masks?  With what used to be called a "variety show."  (Do those exist any longer?)


Above:  This multi-layered print was made using "liberated" pieces of 9" x 12" L963 Kelp Forest. (The "liberated" pieces had been cut free from the original rectangular frame.)  The background had been watercolor paper coated with blue and orange acrylics. In adding top layers with sponges, I used acrylics in zinc white (lower far left), Titanium White (upper far right), and yellow faintly tinted with orange (across the central area.) 




Above:  A paper towel used for cleaning 6" x 6" s955 Bulbs and Banners; good enough for a future collage???



Above:  Foreign newsprint had first been painted with 9" x 12" Fantasia L450 (the heavy black lines); next, with 9" x 12" Tangled Pods L344 (white and green); and a top layer had been added with L963 Kelp Forest using pale, translucent green acrylic paint. 



Above:  A painting with orange dot collage elements.  Printed at the top using 6" x 6" s955 Bulbs and Banners and at the bottom using 4" x 4" m339 Seabed Greens.  Both masks have been cut free from their outer square frames.





Above:  At the top rests the mask itself of 6" x 6" s955 Bulbs and Banners and at the bottom rests 4" x 4" m339 Seabed Greens, likewise the mask itself.  Both masks have been cut free from their outer square frames, and both are stained with white and yellow paints.  The background is watercolor paper splashed with assorted acrylic paints. This is a work in progress with the idea of adding the two faintly stained masks as collage elements.



Above:  This started with a print made using 9" x 12" Winter Berries L678 with red acrylic paint.  Over that, with pale purple translucent acrylic paint, I made a print using L963 Kelp Forest. The background is gold foil giftwrap.
