CitrSolv Fun
This week the assignment for the collage class was to make some papers using National Geographic magazine pages and applying CitraSolv ( a natural solvent) on them. This breaks down the ink in very cool and unexpected ways. Here is a link to a site where you can see what other artists have done with this technique. http://www.citrasolv.com/art/index.html

I have heard of that technique and seen some examples but yours are by far the most interesting and creative since you have taken it into the realm of good design. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Roberta-it really is fun to do.
DeleteThese are really terrific! Love what you've done with the CitraSolv. Maybe some day I'll try it again -- I found it messy and smelly, but after seeing your work it looks possible to do it in a more controlled manner. And your collages are always the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie- I very first did this with John Arbuckle when he came to visit this summer- the smell goes away pretty fast- it is messy but then I am always in a mess...
