We have a 3D show coming up at our local art cooperative and this is going to be one of my entries.
I started with a photo of mine of the rabbit - isolated him, turned him into a negative and printed him onto a transparency. I then used the transparency to make the cyanotype print.
I layed down the transparency of my rabbit onto cyanotype paper and then layered some weeds over the top of the transparency sheet and printed them in the sun for about 10 minutes.
Once the cyanotype was rinsed and dried, I used colored pencils to color my rabbit. I then glued the paper to a cradled wood panel.
Next, I got out my paper clay and made up some clay weeds to look like the real weeds I used and added them to the top. I then added several layers of encaustic medium (beeswax with natural tree resin).
I used pan pastels to color the weeds on the base and then used encaustic paint (encaustic medium with pigments added) to paint the clay weeds.
The painting is 8 by 10 inches and will be framed in a black float frame.
All for today -- Take Care
