Sticky Fingers Demo Results
I had great fun giving a demonstration of my “sticky fingers” (glued collage technique) on Saturday. There were a couple of small challenges:
– My easel broke just as I set it up. No worries. My helper, Linda, became my “easel.” She was very supportive. (Get it? I couldn’t resist.)
– Thanks to a sore throat, my voice alternately sounded like Minnie Mouse and Kris Kristofferson. Although this was rather amusing, I sure was glad to have a microphone!
I had an enthusiastic audience and they were very intrigued by the way paint goes on unevenly, when applied to white-on-white fabrics. I opted for a very loose landscape effect, as my example. A little blue scribbled on top, then a green tree “line”, and golden grain in the foreground. Add some water and move it all around and you get this. Click to see the cool effect I love.
The color in this represents about 20 seconds of effort. It is THE VERY BEGINNING of an interesting idea. I have many ideas about where to go from here, and I will enjoy exploring them – when I can find the time.

Great idea, Ellen. So when do you think you’ll be offering this as a class? I love the effect the paint added.

Oh Kathy, this is so much fun!!! I recently offered this class online, so it will be a while before I do so again. Maybe in the fall.
