DLP: Week 3

I decided to just go in order with the challenges, even though I'm so far behind.  This week's art challenge was: the color wheel and the prompt was "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way." by Georgia O'Keefe.

This is not one of my favorite layouts, but I did get it to a point where I didn't mind it.  I started by applying ink directly to the paper with ink pads.  I tried to get a circular rainbow effect around the edge of the page.  Didn't like it.  Applied more color with blotch stencil.  Decided to stamp handcarved bicycle stamp in a few places-- going with the wheel idea.  Um, didn't like it.  Light layer of gesso over some of the page.  Cut a bar code stencil and applied paint in rainbow colors over most of the page.  Stenciled the sugar skull in middle (Ed Roth) and did another layer of gesso to make skull stand out.  Wrote in quote(this one seemed more appropriate than the O'Keefe quote) and doodled around edges.  Better.
