I started off by scraping some 3D gloss gel (Prima) through a TH stencil on a watercolour ATC card. This was to represent the tiling on the bathroom wall. I then splattered Dylusions red acrylic paint across it when it had dried. I drew the bathroom furniture on another piece of watercolour card, painted it with Dylusions 'Slate Grey' spray ink, and glued the pieces to the base card. I coloured Maya and the parrot with Faber Castell polychromos and attached them to the ATC. I toyed with adding text but then thought it was better left as is. If people know the film they'd get it with no further clues, hopefully.
The 'curtains' are pieces cut from some mini silk sheets I made recently, using masking fluid to create patterns which then resisted the paint which I made with Inktense block shavings made into watercolours by scraping each colour into little pots and adding water. The effect is like tie/die when you rub away the masking fluid. Brilliant. I made these in a one hour free class at the Derwent museum which Pete and I visited during a short break in the Lake District earlier this year. (It's a lovely little museum and a great place to take the children, showing the history of pencil making!). I attached them to a cocktail stick to give the impression of them hanging over the bath!
Hope you appreciate the humour and don't feel it's too gruesome a post! I know my BFF Linda Regan doesn't like it all! Ha ha! I'd love you to leave a comment to see what you think and so I know you dropped by!
