A day at home yielded a lot of pictures of my box of keys. I have been hoarding this box for a couple of years, and now I have finally taken keys out of it, taken them off the rings, and started arranging them. I made circles, and found circles, there is a set of keys with a beautiful engraved plate that says who lost them. Today was mostly taking pictures and then messing with them in Photoshop. That is how I got this lovely x-ray looking image from this picture:
I still have thoughts about these keys. I want to use the Pebeo paints to sun-print the keys on fabric, and Pebeo also does interesting things when draped over objects to dry. The higher parts get darker, and the lower, shaded parts get lighter. It is a great way to get texture off things. I still dream of using on the ripples on the beach, but I haven’t had a chance yet, and I think someone would holler at me for polluting or something.
