Batik effect

This piece was done entirely with acrylic inks and water. I first applied a stencil and sprayed the acrylic inks over it. I then wet the entire paper, crumpled and uncrumpled it, then added washes the same inks over it. The washes stuck in the wrinkles, creating a batik effect. I then sprayed the inks over that, darkening the whole piece, and adding a border. I then created my own stamp design with different size number stamps, to add a focus to the piece.
