Five 3, abstract art by Amy Crook

Five 3 by Amy Crook

I decided to do #3 horizontally when one of the salt pools didn’t take, instead spreading out into the paper for mysterious reasons. I added ink dots to depressions in both the wet and dry paper, and I love the way the blue-black ink spread throughout the damp spot. I like the way the stamped “canvas” texture in this paper really supports and informs the art that came to life on its surface.

Five 3, 3.5″x2.5″ mixed media on paper, nfs (but available for trading!).

The canvas-like texture of this card is really evident here, and the way the water and salt distorted it in the lower left where the salt pool didn’t properly form.

If you’re an artist who makes ATCs of your own, and are coveting this one, let me know!
