Prismatic!
This was inspired by the Prismatic spring. The colors is quite right but I forgot the yellow 😀
Canvas 12x18 cm

Yesterday morning I accidentally managed to hard boil my egg. That made me leave it for evening meal and make shrimp/egg sandwich. Then I thought, it is Aroma challenge over at Rain´s. And Christmas is coming. Got a fun idea. So I started to make a Christmas plate just for the fun of it. After photographing it I made the sandwiches and ate them.
Now I learned the Aroma challenge was earlier but I post it anyway. It´s Christmas, Right!

Coral reef and Grand Prismatic

Click image to enlarge!

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!

Grand Prismatic inspiration shot

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

Grand Prismatic abstract

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!
