Here is project that didn't make it into the book.
Mod Squad, inspired by Seth Apter.
Supplies:
Cutting Mat and craft knife
Contact paper or Freezer paper, tape
Sharpie Marker
Acrylic paint, foam sponges or dauber tools, brushes
Stencils, rubber stamps
Canvas Panel
Gel Medium, glue brush
1. Tape the contact paper
or freezer paper down to your cutting mat.
2. Using the Sharpie Marker, draw funky shapes in the middle of the
contact paper. Be sure and leave a framework around the edges and don't allow
the individual shapes to touch each other.
3. Cut the shapes out from
the background. Save both parts.
4. Use either the shapes or the background on top of interesting text
pages and stencil over top of them using acrylic paint. You don't need to remove
the backing from the contact paper. The stencil tool is a foam dauber.
5. Place the mask on top of the canvas
panel so that it is blocking out parts of the panel (I removed the sticky
backing so it would lay flat, this part is optional depending on whether you
want to use this mask again). Spread acrylic paint across a rubber stamp using
your sponge and stamp on top of the masked area. Repeat several times to get
desired look.
6. Cut out shapes that you previously painted and consider assembly
options. Play with the pieces as though they are puzzle and figure out
different ways to arrange them.
7. Collage the paper parts
onto your substrate using Gel Medium. Continue to layer by alternating between
stenciled areas (the x's) and collage parts.
