Distressed paper

This piece was done with another paper I had previously inked an set aside for later. This was done when I accidentally tipped over my bottle of magenta acrylic ink. I didn't want to waste it, as this is my favorite of those inks, so I dipped a paper into it. On top of that I stamped circles with a candle lid, and rubbed them down to streak them. I also sprayed watered down acrylic ink to stain the paper dioxazine purple. My favorite part of this piece is the tearing I did to distress it, ripping only a layer of the paper away while it was still wet. I then glued the paper shred back in different pieces, and added a black wash to highlight the texture.
