Today I have something a little different for me. This one was quite a challenge as I tried out some new Tim Holtz techniques with Distress Paint resist, Frosted Film, and Dina Wakley Modeling Film.
There is nothing like spending sunny summer days with family and friends at an amusement park. A few summers ago, we went to Universal Studio's Island of Adventure in Florida where I took these photos. Now you might say... "what photos?" as they do not appear in a standard form. The waterfall face photo was printed on paper and image transferred. After sealing it with clear gesso, I then graphite transferred the titling from another printed paper photo on top of it.
I printed a 8x10 size photo of the arm and trident and fussy cut it out. I hand knotted a net with kitchen twine and then I coloured with distress inks to go behind the arm.
The amazing thing about a theme park is that it is purely a marvel of the imagination and science, thus I added the Tim Holtz word band "reality has limits, imagination is boundless".
A summertime ode to the god of water would not be complete without some sea creatures. I used the clear modeling film on the seahorse on the left and the white film on the right. They both looked good and this way they are each unique. I hand cut the seaweed from the left over frost film covered modeling film and then coloured them with a combination of permanent inks to get the colouring.
The push to get this out of my head and onto a canvas, came from the Summer Days Challenge at Mixed Media Monthly Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge of "i scream for"... in this case... Island of Adventure, imagination and ink.
