Think I prefer this to your other one. Mainly because the colour scheme is more vivid and seems to make it angrier. And what does happen when you mix superglue and cold water dye? *curious*
I love the fact that you can read, but not read, the entire poem. The colors also work well together and the strike across the page causes a line of interest for the viewer to follow down.
Thank you! Basically, cold water dye comes as a powder - whether you buy it in mini tins or in bigger plastic tubs. If I were using a fabric, ie, something that liquid can be soaked up by, I would sprinkle (fairly librally) the colours I wanted (say, blue and turquoise) on to the patch I want the colour on, and then I would use a spray mister (ie, a cleaning spray bottle emptied and washed out) to wet the dye, and it would soak into the fabric, creating lots of lovely patterns - the more water you spray (within reason) the more patterns occur. On the other hand, if I were using most papers, where the water wouldn't sink in that quickly, I would spread pva glue on the patch where I want the colour, then sprinkle the dyes, and then experiment with a little sprayed water. It is all about experimentation - nobody taught me how, I was just shown the materials and told to play with them... Have a go, it is great fun! But I recommend using plastic/latex protection gloves, unless, like me, you find it funny to go into the supermarket with witch green hands... Also, wear old clothes, and protect your workspace, because that dye is hard to remove. A last point - worked like this, the colour is not 'fast' therefore it can't be washed. You could experiment adding salt into the mix, I don't know if that would improove it's fastness or not. Hope this helps
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.

Yeah, most people seem to. I'm not that pleased with the painting on this though.
Cheers

could you explain how you used the cold water dye
