Scratchboard Project
(It's a white glossy paper with a thin layer of black clay-like material over the top. After you create a photo collage as a design, you scratch away the black to show the white. It sure took a while, but I was happy with the result. For a first try, at least.)
Wow! Good Job! Thats beautiful :)
ReplyDeletethats awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's neat... how the bread doubles as the door of the tomb, for example. What do you mean by ''a photo collage for a design''? So you cut out pictures and arranged them together, but how did you transfer the design accurately onto the black and white paper?
ReplyDelete@Mara and Hosanna: Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Nathan: Hello, sir!
Wow! You're observant! I actually didn't intend the tombstone to look like the bread, but you're right! I was disappointed that I couldn't find a workable picture of bread to go with the cup, so I'm glad it worked out in the end.
Yes, I found the pictures, printed them in the size I needed, cut them out, taped them in place on a sheet of white paper, and photo-copied it. There were four pictures total. The calvary scene, the empty tomb, the dove, and the cup.
Because the black top layer is a clay-type material, you put your photo-copy over the scratchboard and trace over the lines you need with a really sharp pencil and it leaves an indentation in the clay. That's the template you work from. You trace outlines, not details; you have to eye-ball those.
that's wonderful. love the subject, and I must say that that dove is really beautiful. :)
