Sgrafitto Feathers
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: jkanack

 Welcome to the TLC for today! Today we're going to explore the art of sgrafitto, which is Italian for 'scratching'.
Usually sgrafitto is used in making pottery but there are ways to apply it to card making. In this example, I used a dark blue watercolor paint on watercolor paper and, while still wet, scratched a design into the wc. The paint collects in the scratches. There are other ways to do this; I have two more cards using other mediums. Hope you have some fun giving it a try. PS I'd say using watercolor is the easiest and quickest way.

Oh, this is beautiful Jean! I love the slight curving in your etching, and the feathers are fab.
It was actually a background piece done in watercolour with a comb which someone sent me twenty-something years ago which inspired me to use the comb. I expected watercolour would be harder, I must give it a try.

Wow! LOVE the many layers and texture! The muted, washed out colors speak to me and the tilt of the sentiment, panel, and feather are eye-catching.
