Wheat pasting - II



Got a quick photo on my journey to college this morning of what I pasted last night. This wooden fence was the smoothest surface I could find within a close proximity to my home. I didn't really want to post it anywhere that would piss people off and anywhere in public view just incase I messed it up. But I am very pleased with how it has turned out. It survived the night and is still holding strong. It's good to know that the paste I made is thick and strong enough. There were a few little lumps of paste that must have accumulated when I smeared the paste on top of the artwork. This could be because the paste or the paper I used was too thick. I will definitely be trying this again, so I'll experiment with different variations of the paste and different types of paper to see what works best. I really would like to see this becoming a regular thing that I do with my illustrations or any kind of artwork that I create in the future. It could drive me towards giving my illustrations some real purpose and meaning if I chose to start posting my pieces up in various places for the public to see.
