Paperbabe Challenge ~ #72 Anything goes..

It's Friday and time for a new blog challenge over at Paperbabe Stamps,
with this fortnights theme being everyone's favourite 

Time for a play day...

Onto the largest of three mixed media blanks I traced around the mini 
profile template and curly fringe. The mini profile stamps can be used to add the 
facial features but this time I chose to hand draw mine in with pencil. 

I used the colour of the MDF to guide my choice of skin tone 
using neocolors II to add the overall base colour.


Using all three mixed media circles included in the kit I created a scene, layering 
up those colours as they really soak into untreated MDF when activated with water.

You can see here just how the colour changes by repeating the process.

 

Hanging attachments are included within the mixed media kit and simply attached 
with a spot of glue, where you chose to place the hangers is entirely up to you.


Coloured pencils help to add those extra details.

I would have loved to have added more circles to this wall art; picking out areas of her hair 
and surroundings. The limits are endless but for the moment the trio sit side by side.

As She Ponders... the tilt of your head can predict her day..!!


I hope you too can find time for a play day and maybe join in 
with the Paperbabe Stamps blog Challenge, we'd love to see your creativity.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

WOYWW #464

It's Wednesday and i'm back again.. 
to share what's on my work space over at WOYWW #464

Helen said it would become addictive hee hee!!


As some of you may remember I don't have one dedicated area to work at
and at the moment i'm beavering away working on so many different things 
it seems every spare bit of indoor space has become an area to create in.

Whilst working on a couple of wire pendants for a friend I thought I would share 
this area as it's probably the only area you could make any sense of at the moment. 

I came across a piece of marbled polymer clay baked over 5 years ago and much harder 
than it was when I originally baked it. The last 5 years have cured it well hee hee!!

Made some more wire embellishments with some off cuts too.. I hate throwing wire away.

I must admit it was good to take a breather from it all and enjoy the sunshine 
over the weekend; it's amazing how revitalising the sun can be
...if only for a moment..

Many thanks to Julia for hosting WOYWW #464
and to everyone for sharing your work space
I look forward to visiting you all.

Creative wishes
