Scratchboard Art

Here are links to my pages on scratchboard art! (In the UK, scratchboard is known as scraperboard.) There is more to come, so please check back again soon.

The three drawings below are crayon etchings I made using variations of scratch board art. I colored the scratchboard paper with crayons, then painted the entire sheet black with india ink, then etched my drawing using a stylus. You can get many different effects. For example, I think the waterfall and dragonfly picture looks a bit like a woodcut.

For instructions on how to do crayon etching, please click the link or photos.

I made these colorful Halloween placecards using a special black paper. All I needed to do was scratch my design and lettering using a pointed wooden stick, and the vivid colors (that were already there, hiding under the black!) were revealed in all their glory. Easy and fun! Please click the link or photo for instructions.
