Playing with scraper board art

It’s hard to get a good photo when the surface of the underlying scraped board is so reflective.  I’ve been playing with scraper board art, in the 1st and 2nd pictures the holographic surface changed colour due to the angle of the light hitting it. The image is based on a photo of my cat. The 3rd and 4th are a copper colour, the horse was made up from my imagination. The underlying board was metallic not holographic but still changed colour based on the angle of incidence of the light.

Happy Easter

Have a happy Easter. I realise it’s not just about chocolate eggs and bunnies, it is about faith and resurrection. It is the centre of the meaning of being a Christian, like everything else it has become a reason to market chocolate and other treats like hot cross buns.

But I enjoyed doing this scraper board drawing on holographic card. It’s decorated with flowers like tulips and daffodils plus eggs and rabbits.

I hope that however you celebrate this time of year you have some peace and loving kindness. Take care of yourselves.

Early Easter drawing

Today I went to a craft group.

It’s something I sometimes go to,  it’s the chance to experiment without doing anything serious. The group has lots of different materials and today it was scraper board. It’s a black coloured layer over the top of holographic metallic board.  You scratch through and add shapes or texture. I found a stencil with patterns punched into it. There were rabbits and daffodils, tulips and egg shapes. I drew an Easter egg and added the stencils inside it. Then added spirals and Happy Easter to it to finish it off.
