I used kitchen tin foil to make her colourful robe. I stuck the foil down and then painted some metallic acrylic turquoise over the surface, The spots of colour were made with some rather nice purple nail polish I have! I then scratched it a little to make the swirls.
In case you missed any of my faces this week here is a wee catch up.
It's been a busy week so haven't had as much time as I would have liked to make each face. I did want to experiment more with new materials, hopefully I will do a bit of that over the coming weeks of the challenge.
Linking up to 29 faces
and paint party friday where I am delighted to be featured Artist this week!!! Thand you so much to the PPF team. :)
Congrats on being featured artist! Love your faces. Valerie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful faces, love all the different techniques you used. I'd never have thought of using nail polish, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI like the mistiness around the face, which gives it an ethereal feel, and somehow the robe gives this lady a Japanese aura. One of the most enjoyable things about the 29 faces challenge is the freedom it gives us to experiment, at the same time as the discipline of creating a face every day, come what may.
ReplyDeletefabulous - I always adore your fantastic textures ---
ReplyDeleteamazing!
Happy PPF!
Love the experimentation going on with this. I agree with Jez, there is a lovely ethereal feel to this face, she has lovely pale blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful faces and very inspiring art technique. I love your creativity! Huge congrats on being featured and big hugs.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love her! Thanks for sharing your techniques.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful faces, dreamy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being the featured artist! What a lovely set of faces so far! all with your unique and pretty style. I love your day 7 face, so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThe first one here is stunning....I love the soft face and hair and eyes. Nicely done! I am with Nordljus...clever on the nail polish. :)
ReplyDeleteThis face is my favourite of the week. The colours, and of course, your texture is so appealing. The yellowy green is dancing beautifully and luminating in the background. The shiny aluminum foil is doing the two step with the background. How captivating! Your lady's face is captivating... if think it is her blues eyes... they connect to the background and her robe! You have the artist's triangle! Finally, the collaged paper hair puts a perfect finishing touch to the young lady! Bravo! I am so glad we crossed paths! Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteMorag your faces are all so full of individuality, you are so imaginative as always and that cake you made your daughter, wow!!! She truly must have loved it, you truly are a creative soul!
ReplyDeleteclever idea, using the tin foil. Each of your faces has been so completely different!

I love those soft, misty but very interesting faces. By the way you inspired me last week to finally use some Ikea wooden plates I have had forever. Loved seeing your beautiful art featured.
ReplyDeleteI like your light touch in pen and paint! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteI love that each of your faces looks different and individual yet they still have your distinct style about them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful face, very soft and delicate. Congratulations on the feature this week!
