After finishing and posting two mermaids on Wednesday had a break from posting a face yesterday, but back to the challenge of creating 29 faces in 29 days.
Remember my little cat painting which I posted for day 8 of the challenge?
Well here she is finished.
I used the painting as a base for my collage.
Her name is Misty.
The background has many layers of splattered paint.
The flowers are stencilled with modelling paste and then sprayed with cosmic shimmer spray inks.
I have had a busy week of experiments using lots of different materials to make my faces. Everything from tea-bags to kitchen foil and clay.
Here they are....

ReplyDeleteTo answer your ?. The molded face does not stay with the leather. Once the leather is dry it holds it shape.
