This is my third page for the Exquisite Corpse project that we are working on. This project is slowly drawing to a close and several of us seem to still be interested in exploring this concept further. So, It looks like there will be a second book made after this one is completed. Crusade #19 for the GPP Street Team involves making a stencil or a mask this month. For this page I used a very simplistic mask of an arch just cut from paper. It was layed on my page and paint was sponged on and beyond the edge of the mask to achieve this effect. I have also used this mask on the front cover of the book. I think this shows that even the simplest of designs can be very effective. 
Ingrid - very simple but very clever! I love how this whole piece looks. Thanks for pointing out how using a cut-out shape can act as a stencil or a mask in a pinch. Thanks for sharing this with the Street Team.
ReplyDeleteI think you're 100% correct! This is a great mask- very effective indeed!
ReplyDeleteIngrid - it might be simple, but it is so effective! the exsquisite corpse pages look great - I've recently read about these - very intriguing.

ReplyDeletei really love the look of that! and the man with the rabbit ears and the wheels on his feet just makes me smile.
ReplyDeletethe long tall arch frames him brilliantly...the piece would definitely not feel quite complete without it.

ReplyDeleteI really like that. Excellent use of such an elegantly simple mask.
ReplyDeleteYou did a very precise job of cutting out that arch, mine would be lopsided. I love the skull on his jacket shoulder...too cool...I want a jacked like that.
