Terraskin experiment

I purchased this product a while ago to do some stencils and when I got it home I found some cool tutorials on you tube and played around with inks on it with my brayer. I loved the way the inks spread around on this terraskin. The results were pretty cool and I played around with it for a couple of hours and got completely lost in it. I didn't want to use this one as a stencil because I thought I could do something with the piece I had worked on but I just never got around to doing anything. So while on vacation/spring cleaning the cottage I slipped some of this terraskin in with my art supplies and used a new sheet to make a stencil of a tree. This terraskin is beautiful to cut and it was like butter. This is the very first time that I didn't worry about being to aggressive with my edge cutting. The product is very durable. Here are 2 different examples of different paintings.

This is the piece of Terraskin that I played around with

an up close section of it where I added some dots

another up close to show how some of the inks just slide not really getting absorbed by the Terraskin

this is the stencil which was cut out of this size of terraskin sheet 

Notice all the different colours of paint that I used but the tree trunk was too big for the size of the canvas. I am thinking once I am finished with the template that I may inbed it into a painting with some gel medium. I am liking this. 

Here I added some Pebeo red leaf making some designs to make it look like bark

Added some brown......I am not liking it.

I am liking this one better. It went thru some transformation of the background colours. And I am adding some gel medium on the tree area to give some relief. This one will be for Jordan who already put dibs on this one.
