DIVA Challenge 312

DIVA challenge #312 forces me to spill my coffee to create a stain. My mum would have a word with DIVA, I am sure.

Since my spills are never beautiful I got creative and used a 'blending palette" (a trick I saw on Bine's site - but because I don't have the pro tool I used a plastic sheet), spread some watercolor onto it, smeared it around, dipped an upside-down mug into the smear and twisted it a few times. Voila, my coffee spill art on plastic. I pressed my tile onto the mess I created and carefully lifted it off. To quicken the drying process I scattered sand onto the wet stain.

The sand actually sticks on the watercolor, but to be on the safe side, I spilled liquid glue over the sand and let it dry over night. Perfect. Well, I haven't done that yet on this tile, but on a test tile. Ouch, I forgot to take an image prior to tangle the tile.

Patterns used are kensington, meringue, reef, mooka, and leafing.

Patterns: Kensington, Meringue, Reef, Mooka, Leafing
on watercolor stains covered with sand

Update April 24th: I glued my sand texture to the tile, let it dry two days and here is the result. Except of losing a bit of texture and some added smears the glue worked perfectly. The tile is glued into my sketchbook and there is no sticking pages.

Same tile as above, but now with glue added to immortalize
the sand to the tile.
