Bring On the Spiders!

Just had to include the spider series in the Halloween minibook! The first one is very simple, but actually my favorite!  It is a combination of a stencil and a stamp. 

I like the background on the next image, - it is silver.  It is difficult to see the metallic quality in this picture, but in person, this is a very striking addition to the book.

Mixed media spider image #3 is the most complex of the group and took, by far, the longest amount of time to create.  The foundation acrylic paint is a monoprint.  The next acrylic layer was created using acrylic paint and a stencil, and the third layer was created using ink and a stamp.  Although each layer of the image was not difficult, each took planning AND drying time!!!


You may remember the poster-like image below.  It is a combination of monoprint, stamping (3 different stamps, and washi tape. 


Washi tape has also been added to the layer, mixed media image below.......it's kinda "cute" and uses materials that are not original....

I do have to admit that there are times when purchased is certainly easier...well....at least faster!
