TRANSPARENCIES: DIBBLE, DABBLE, SCRIBBLE!

I make my own transparencies from original photos and my inkjet printer. There are more than a few posts on this blog explaining how to use transparencies artistically in a number of easy ways:

1. MAKE COOL LIGHTCATCHERS
2. PLACE COLORED PAPER BEHIND and another HERE TOO!
3. PAINT THE "CLEAR" AREAS BEHIND
4. DOODLE IN THE CLEARED SPACES

Today's message is twofold: Another "drawing in the cleared space" with several ways to proceed with an inkjet transparency!

FIRST UP TODAY, FUN WITH FUNKY LINES

Rubbing with a damp cloth is a far easier method of removing inkjet ink from the rough side of a transparency. I've used a scratch tool in the past, and that's great for precision and sharp edges. But if you have a large area to remove, you can even dip the inkjet transparency briefly in water for easier removal! (Of course results may vary.)

With the photo below, I rubbed large areas away and then used both wide and thin markers to doodle in the cleared spaces.



Kids could have a blast with this project!
