Isolated Color Test - Front Full
This is an experiment on a number of levels:
- mixing colors (it's supposed to be orange, not red. Perhaps I had too much red and not enough yellow?
- constraining colors (I used tape to keep the color in a specific hexagon, and was pleased with the result)
- dying after the gridding (normally I've dyed the paper and then gridded it, but this time I reversed it, just to see what would come of it. What happened was the paper between the folds was a bit more rigid and workable, which I kinda like)
On a side note, I think I may have figured out what's been causing the yellow streaks in the red dyed paper, talked about a bit more here: www.flickr.com/photos/brdparker/4122968640/#comment721576...
I've been using a metal tool to spread the powder over the paper before wetting it. I think some of the metal shaved off into the mix and reacted with the powder. Cool stuff.
