Working with some Dye. Food Dye to be more specific.

Right well after I did the wax dripping on the tulle, I decided that I wanted to see hoe ink or dye would drip on paper. Haven't gotten to the ink yet, but I've tried out food dye mixed with water and it gave an interesting result. I had different strengths of dye mixed with the water, so light blue, blue, dark blue, same with the red but the red kind of came out as pink, but that's okay because it kind of match the previous wax experiments.

Colour and sequence, what more could you want.

This piece is 2 white A1's side by side. I wanted a page long enough to fit a sequence with 15 - 20 figures in it. I ended up with 20 figures in the piece, and painted the figures in deep colours like purple and blue, and did the background in yellow, and them lightened some pink and dabbed it on with a sponge.

I was a professional photographer in a previous life.

So I decided, with some recommendation from my tutors, to take a load of photographs of samples that i had previously done. I had wax on tulle, some paper with pleats, and different knitted materials. After I took 79 pictures, I picked out my favourites and edited them in Photoshop. I contrasted, deepened, and cropped them.

 I like how this one turned out because the orange, red and blue are so vivid and powerful.

 This is one of my favourites because of the shape of the fold with the plaster on it  and the clarity of the lines in the picture came out well.

 The folds in the paper came out really nicely when the light hit it at a certain angle.

 I love the ridge between the two piece of wax and how the tulle curves up between them

 The little white dots on top of the wax formed shortly after the wax had cooled down.

 The knitted wire was hard enough to do but came out really well in the end.

 This photo is my favourite one, I love the pink drop in the centre and the grid of the tulle underneath. It came out so clearly, when I brought it into Photoshop to edit it, all I had to do was deepen and contrast the colour which mad the pink come out even more. I did the same with the photographs below.

Wax wax wax.

Well in my previous photo's, prints and drawings, I was experimenting with tulle earlier on, because material is also part of my project. I decided that I'd like to experiment with wax on tulle and see the dripping movement and to get some colour there too. I like Blue and Pink so I decided to see how it would change the shape of the tulle with the wax dripped on it and also letting the wax settle on top.
