A couple of things on the go this week.
Another collaged panel. I am preparing the background layers and will later add some thistles and a Dragonfly ( If you are reading LLJ hope you like the colours so far ;) )
bit of a close up to show you some of the texture, much of it will change with layers and sanding but this gives me a starting point. I use a lot of cosmic shimmer inks, I love them! They are however devilishly messy, but I don't mind about that.
Secondly, this week another little person started life on the bench. I like to have several bits on the go. I flit between them so when one is drying I can work on the other.
To be honest the piece of wood I found as too small for a tail so I gave her a little dress instead. She was blonde... for a while, but as many young ladies do, decided she fancied her hair darker.
Much better....
and this is how far I am up to....
She now carries a little heart. :)
nearly finished.
Linking up to WOYWW where lots of creative souls share what the week has brought to their workdesks.
Your collage panel is beautiful Morag. I've never heard of Cosmic Shimmer but it sounds right up my alley:)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, love the background colours so far. Just to let you know, I love silvery and sparkle too ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour lady definitely suits being a brunette..more sassy, if you ask me!!
Hugs, LLJ 36 xx
I love the girl you've created and think she looks great with her magical blue-black hair! xJessie #46
ReplyDeleteYour panel is looking gorgeous it is such a shame that the camera doesn't pick up all that shimmery goodness. I love your mermaids but it's nice to see one of your girls in a dress. She is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! I love the idea of these panels - are they wood? I like to have a few things on the go as well as otherwise I keep fiddling with the one that is supposed to be drying - working much better for me now I have a bit more space. Your lady is beautiful but the colours on that blue one - yum!! Happy WOYWW, Cindy #51
ReplyDeleteMorag, I love the colours and texture you got going on the first panel. Stunning! I can wait to see it develop. Your little person is beautiful too. You have such talent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and texture. Very interesting how the girl developed and changed. Lovely work. Be well Carole #68
ReplyDeleteOh, that collaged panel is gorgeous. The colours make me swoon .... Love it! And your little girl is so cute. The babywipes in the background made me smile. They're never too far away from my worktable either :-)
ReplyDeleteYour collage panel is stunning. I love the little ladies. #59
