Scratchboard Art

Ohhhh ... scratchboard! Don't we just love it and we hate it. It's so fun to work with and experiment with. But such a challenge using the knife to scrape away, remembering to work backwards - subtracting the ink rather than applying it.

We used "wild things" from the book, "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak as our subjects. They have a lot of character and a lot of texture, making them perfect models for the look of the scratchboard art.
