So I started a new
project. I had some left over paint and some of these stupid miniature tin cans
and decided to try out some new things. Last time I had talked about the idea
of mazes to lead the paint. A few weeks ago I had made some designs out of hot
glue and thought that the paint might flow through that. Turns out I was right.
At first the paint ran over the tin, continued over the glue and I accepted
failure. After a few more layers the paint stopped flowing where the glue had
blocked it. Instead of the round shape the paint usually creates, once it falls
from the pedestal, it had begun to have straight lines and different curves.
This is very intriguing.
The first few times I've done projects in this way I tried to not touch the paint, just let it do as is pleased. This time I'm trying to control it. I realized that the paint is wet.. and I have a paintbrush.. whoa, revelation. I started to play with the top of the paint and control where it went. It created some really exciting effects.
This has got me feelin' crafty.
