Fun !!!

Found myself passing my craft desk when the urge came to try out a technique I had read about on Monday on Jo's Jozart blog and from where I followed the link to Patti Behan's pages and videos. Thank you both for your inspiration. Anyway, I just had to sit down and have a go. This is the Acrylic Dabber Splatter technique, and I found it so much fun that I was giggling and squealing like a two-year-old.

Jo and Patti are right about it being messy. That's what makes it so much fun ! I managed to get my tee-shirt sprayed, but as a certain little lady had only five minutes before left dirty pawprints on it when she emerged from the fireplace and hurled herself into my arms, it was about to go in the wash anyway. However, the paint can travel quite a distance when you're in full splatter mode, so it's advisable to cover up everything in the vicinity.

This particular example uses Lettuce, Eggplant and Stream acrylic dabbers, black archival ink, some Paper Artsy stamps and the Lost Coast rabbit.
