i pulled out the Pitt Big Brush markers to see how they would behave on this paper. i have about 150 envelopes with a printing error on the flap and they are not my favorite paper, but, geesh, 150 free envelopes....i sometimes get good ideas when the envelopes are already being recycled. so, i started with the colors, then started outlining in black.
horrific.
tried flinging some more black lines.
what's a word that means *worse than horrific*?
covered it up with some white.
added gold
i would have thrown this one away, but saved it so you can see what launched a different series. i am calling it the veggie-bead series because i used the veggie stamp and those tear drops look like beads.
more to come.
Worse than horrific?...how about crap!?
ReplyDeleteinteresting that you suggest crap. i use that word a lot and have been reprimanded by i guy i know because he thinks it is not lady-like and was surprised to hear me saying it...but, that's what i use for all the little things that annoy me. so, it's not stronger than horrific, but i appreciate the suggestion
DeleteDiabolical? Egregious?
ReplyDeleteI like the black curved line a lot.
diabolical sounds like i was trying to make something awful, so that won't work. egregious is a favorite word and it will be included in the master list, but to me it is not really worse than horrific. i did come up with a word that might work - abomination.
Deletehere's the list of stages of badness in art (my art)
1. off
2. icky
3. yucky
4. crappy
5. egregious
6. revolting
7. horrific
8. abominable
this is just a working list.
feel free to add words and i will insert them in the order that works for me.
and
no, we will not be making a companion list to describe the stages of loveliness.
They also forgot crappy!
DeleteMaybe I am "off" because I like it!
ReplyDeleteJean - is was one of my four favs!
