An Experiment

For months now, I have been thinking of a little experiment. I'm not much of an experimental artist but every once in a while, something pops into my mind. Well, this is what started it... I have a few paint palettes that are slick plastic. After my acrylic paint dries on it, it peels right off. If I've done a lot of mixing and playing around on the palette, the peeled paint splotches look especially cool. Anyway, I've been saving these "peels". So, today, I spread some Translucent Liquid Sculpey clay on a piece of watercolor paper and added my paint peels. Some were fairly thick with layers of dried paint so I took scissors and snipped it up into shards. I then covered this with a non-stick teflon sheet and heated it with my iron fusing all of the bits together. This is what I got!!!
OK, that's if for tonight. I'm waiting for The Bachelor to come on! Have a few more things to clean up in the kitchen after dinner and another load of laundry to toss in...
