After I wet and flattened the leather I placed them on a black board I already had. I glued them on with medium and let it dry before painting
I did not want to fill the entire board with balloon pattern I wanted the leather to be visible, so I placed medium and the colors like this. Then I can also see what they look like when the colors blends.
I ended up with the board and a canvas. I used the canvas to "clean" the balloon from excess colors. That way my balloon patterns did not mix with each other.

When I saw this final board I immediately thought ... Coral reef. :) So, this turned out to be for my granddaughter. She is leaving for Queensland Feb 4th. She will study Marine biology Master class so she will spend a lot of time in the Great Barrier reef. I envy her!

Colors, balloon and the canvas with colors before ballooning. I painted the blue with my fingers. I kind of like how it turned out.

In this case I used too much red color. The blue in the middle must be much larger. I actually like the last ballon pattern I made on the test canvas I have.
But it is FUN to experiment!
As Nicole mentioned in her post we had a nice chat of ideas. Nicole was interested in the balloon flower pattern from last week. She finally got me to look through the bag of small leather pieces I have stored for many years. We chatted about how to get the best result from balloon painting. And leatherwork. What material I have is not good for sculpting so I will try other things. And Coral Reef was fun to create. Thanks Nicole!

Lovely work this week. As always.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
ReplyDeletefun and interesting art play here! happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I've never tried balloon art, maybe I should give it a go.
ReplyDeleteYou have brought back happy memories Monica, I used to use balloons for printing with my pre-school children. They would wash them afterwards then play with them outdoors when clean. A great activity to fill an afternoon until the popped.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF Tracey x
Baloon and finger painting. You had a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. Have a happy weekend
ReplyDeleteMuch💟love
I just love how this turned out. Now that I see the leather you had it is actually pig or hog hide. One of my favorites to work with. I know your granddaughter will love this. Your other pieces are so bright and pretty. Talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteVery unique painting . I hope you too like my photo blog post.
ReplyDeleteHello, love the art. The Grand Prismatic is beautiful. Safe travels and good luck to your granddaughter. Have a happy day and week ahead.
