Messing around with new "paper"

It was on another blog, that an artist had used a type of paper and some alcohol inks that created some interesting effects AND I thought I would love to do that BUT I don't have that specialised type of paper

I do now!

I have a pad of Yupo paper 100% Hi-Tech...

And because of some restrictions at present in my laundry/paint room - I did only one sheet. It actually might not be exactly right and this one isn't dry, I think I added some more ink AND I know I blotted it at some point. But here it is:


And then I thought, "I've got something a bit like this already...with a semi shiny side...I wonder" So I went away and got some of the comic backing board AND yes it has potential as well. I had to blot it rather thoroughly though, so it looks a bit wishy washy. But it also is doable...

Take no notice of that yellow part at R, that's just a ground sheet due to the fact that I'm not supposed to be doing this here, right now...Plus if my set was different I probably could've just tipped the excess off the board! 

Yes I went out much further, i.e. the City

But it possibly that I should have just gone to the Art Store and then come home, as I kind of over did the outing; as well as forgetting to eat enough whilst out and about...

I think I need to truly start "finishing" a few pieces
I have in mind for these and some other newer pieces

By The Way
My art store friendly assistant took a different viewpoint of this:

Me and others saw it first as 
Juicy Pear (pears for the focus of the kit)
then
Sandy Isthmus (sideways)

but our assistant saw it as:
Naked lady behind some greenery!

Love how you are playing with something new and immediately realizing potential in other things ... plus the naked lady behind greenery is great ... really wonderful!

I love the effect you got from the alcohol inks. I've never heard of that type of paper though.
I would say it took some creativity and some imagination to see a naked lady behind greenery :)
Susan: the dried "paper art affair" looks pretty stunning...Now to decide what else with it. I saw an idea about making certain parts of it stand out with either stitching or ink pens/white pencil. All of which I do have.

Ann: You should look it up, more manufacturers finding the regular art market now it seems. "Abstraction" at it's best in "naked"

I am not sure which I like best...so just love them all.

Oh, the last one, the one makes you think of a juicy pear...always sort of make me think of flames. But there is more there, yet I just cannot say what it is.
thanks Rose for your insight...I think if we do not have a title for an finished object that is say in a gallery, then we interpret it had "we see it" and it was just interesting how a "guy could see a nude"

LOL! a guy can most usually always see a nude. LOL.
I love the new ink papers you did. just beautiful!
Tammy: I've made some more inked papers - not just the new fancy paper...
LOL on the guy and naked ladies, as well. Will show you soon,
tammy: - oops not show you more naked ladies! I meant the inked papers!
