Material Ideas

Hauntingly beautiful images of faces blended with ink in water

Material 1

Because the ink drop in water the look like layers of yarn. So first of all, I think of organza, to group of many mass of organza. The yarn in the middle is thicker and the around well be thin. But I found that it didn't show that sense of elegance, It's hard to fix the shape of organza. There is no way to achieve the desired effect. I like the color very much, but there is no change in the color can show the flowing.

The effects I want

This time, I tried to use wax gun, but the effect for rendered lines are too hard.

Material 3

I also tried using resin, because I want to add color in it, to present the flow of movement, but the shape is very bad, fixed, and can not to make very large shape, so gave up it.

Finally, I try to cut the acrylic of different sizes, and heat it with a candle and shape it into a wave. Finally, stick them together and combine to different layer, I think it works well. I'll continue to use acrylic for the next work.
