MAKING COLOURED PAPERS
I used 110gsm cartridge paper, crumpled brown paper and newspaper (Indonesian language paper as it happens) for the coloured papers. As I mentioned in my email I was a bit disappointed with the fact that the paper was a bit uneven from the ink and I have noted your response about how to deal with that in the future. I don’t mind the effect in some ways, but I just found it made it more difficult to get the cut out pieces to sit neatly. However, after I had stuck them to the pages I put a large heavy book on top and that has helped.
I didn’t have any large quantities of inks, only tiny bottles, and there were none available in my home town, so when I went to the larger city a couple of hours away I was able to get one bottle of red and one of green. (It was lucky those were the colours I had chosen because they were the only bottles they had in stock!). The red said it was scarlet but it was a bit lighter than I had expected. However, I added some other reds and greens from my tiny bottles to add some highlights.
PRINTING ONTO COLOURED PAPERS
I chose a quarter of my star shape and printed with red acrylic ink on to some of the coloured papers. I enjoyed experimenting with placement of the stamp to create new designs.
