This week I ran into a couple obstacles. I got the bleeding tissue paper in the mail and was trying it out. I was disappointed to find that the colors were not sticking to the canvases as I had hoped. I tried doing it on paper but the paper got too wet from the water. Finally, I decided to wet the paper on the canvas and the colors bled together well. I really liked that effect compared to the original effects made with the regular tissue paper. When I got the look that I like, I tried mod podging the tissue paper down. Then I let it dry. I made cutouts of mountains and put them on the back side of the canvas. There were areas that the light was showing through, so I had to recut the mountains so they were larger images that would stretch to cover those slits of light. The images below show the final product I created for this week.
The first image shows the tissue paper when it was wet, before I mod podged the tissue paper down. The second one shows the cube put together. There are cut outs on all four sides of the cube. The sides have not been glued together because I’m not sure if I want to keep this configuration. In the final, the light will not show between the edges.
