When I am painting I always have pages from old books around and then I use up paint on them when I a finished painting on something. I had a collection of pages that have been prepared. When I was painting the body of the angel I was thinking of using fabric to make up her "dress" but I was looking at some of my painted pages and some snowflakes I had made earlier in the month and thought that ummmm that is what I am going to do, cut out snowflakes from those pages. That is what I did and put them all over her body. I glued them down with matte medium gel. After the gel was dried I outlined the snowflakes with ink. Next steps, her face and hair, not sure how well that will go, I am not much of a doll maker.
Thanks for stopping buy and looking.
She's coming along quite nicely. I like colorful angels. :)

ReplyDeleteShe is looking very good. Her dress will certainly stand out from the crowd....for someone who claims not to be doll maker, you are doing a magnificent job:)

I think she's beautiful! What a great idea to use up extra paint on pieces of paper and then use them in another art project! I might just adopt that idea. I love the snowflakes on her. I'm sure you'll do just fine on her face. I'm not very good at painting faces either, so I usually just keep in simple. I look forward to seeing her when she's finished.
