Most recent...zebra. Rubylith.

Starry Night

Van Gogh's Starry Night (top, 1889?, oil). Elin's Starry Night (bottom).
It has obviously been reflected horizontally, and the flash isn't helping the color, but you get the gist. (2000, Acrylic)

Rubylith

Most of these are testers to see what I was able to do with the Rubylith and my scalpel. (2007ish). Recently I have made "batman" for my nephew. Unfortunately I was unable to borrow it for posting purposes.

Ruby Lith is masking film. Rubylith consists of two films sandwiched together. The bottom layer is a clear polyester backing sheet. The top layer is a translucent, red coloured, self adhesive, emulsion. It is used for many different printing techniques. It is easily cut with a knife. This is what I do, minus the printing. I gently cut what I want out of the red side, and then peel away the rest, and ta-da....oh yeah..there is a white sheet of paper behind so you can see the ruby, the actual background is clear
