Bleeding block print

So I have a carve that has been sitting around for awhile. 

I used speedball block print ink to get my image. I added water to my ink while I was rolling it out. I wanted to get a wet image that was not solid. I planned to spray with dylusions spray.

I placed my semi dried image on my mat and sprayed with dylusion sprays from ranger. The speedball ink ran some filling up the white spots. I let it sit for a few seconds and then dabbed off the excess.  Then I used a heat gun to finish drying the inks. 

Grabbed a background paper. 

I cut the image down so that the black ink went to the edge giving it a finished look and then glued it down. 

I wanted a look of intense color.  Innocence lost.

Using eye shadows for a reflective surface

I purchased the bottles at dollar tree. There is only one sprayer, but the tops are all interchangeable. 

I am using an inktense block, but you can use an ink refiller, food coloring, water colors (dry cheap ones). Use as much color as you want.  I am looking for a shimmery yet light pink.

I used very little scrapings for this

This is a revlon eye shadow.  I got this for about a dollar too.

I took the tip of my knife and scratched some into my little mixing bowl.

I use a funnel, but as long as you get the color and eyeshadow into the bottle you are good.

I put the lid on and shook it really good.  I prefer warm water as I think it dissolves better.   

Here is one spray with my color mix.

Up close look.

As long as you shake up the bottles really well. You can keep for different projects.  The eye shadow will wipe off so a coating needs to be applied.
