Andrew's Soupmaking Hodgepodge Style was the name of our Day 6 workshop taught by Andrew Borloz, and it was very cool!
I had to wing it for some of this project because I didn't have a few of the necessary supplies like Easy Tack spray (I substituted low tack tape), the necessary pens (I used Sharpie fine points), and stencils with a design that was close together and repetitive (the designs on mine were farther apart for the most part but I tried to fill in areas to make them seem closer). The saying, "fake it till ya make it" truly applies here.
Here is my project: Tangled But Not Zen
The piece reminded me of zentangle art.
Thus, the name.
Because I didn't have the right kind of stencils, the various areas were not distinct so I drew lines to divide them up. I used a wavy ruler too which was neat and if I'd had the proper stencils to accompany it, I think it would have looked pretty cool. Nevertheless, I totally enjoyed this project! In fact, I'm learning all kinds of great things in this class!
I'm waiting on some supplies from Amazon and about to order more. This little break gives me a chance to reorganize my painting area (Yahoo!), and boy does it need it. Also, it's an opportunity to once again try the Day 4 lesson that I jumped over.
See ya soon.
Zentootles!

Your art really looks GREAT!! You can make your own stencils by cutting small shapes out of either cardstock or thin plastic sheet. I really, really like the way you use the thin lines - it makes the patterns so lively! Thank you for showing your work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrew and thanks for the stencil info as well. I will definitely keep that in mind.

I think it turned out great! I had fun with this too - I didn't have spray adhesive so used masking paper that I use when card making. Enjoy your new supplies when they arrive :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cath! Some of my supplies have arrived. One of them is a Gelli plate. I've wanted one for years. I will definitely enjoy it!
