Hello Everyone...
I have wanted to make this project for well over 2 years after first seeing it on You Tube, so I took the plunge and had a play..
I first printed the lady out as she had a good head..nice profile.
I fussy cut her and glue her onto a canvas..then started adding everything..
Earrings, buttons, keys, flowers, buckles..just stuff.
Made a mask for her face..
Then painted everything black..I know, I was scared I tell you but this is the rules..
Then came the colours back..inks..paints..Nuvo mousse..
But so did the bleeding into her face when I moved her to dry.. she was on a lean and the blinking ink ran into her chin....So I cut another face and glued it on top.
Added lace and a flower along the bottom, with a butterfly..
And a sentiment made on the PC..
This is light from the kitchen window which shows all the shimmer from the Kaiserkraft shimmer paint sprays..
And the last photo which was the first photo..a close up of the tiny tiny beads that sprinkled in the gaps using matt medium as my glue..
So there we go...thank you so much for stopping by...see you soon and have a very Happy Easter..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Wow. This looks amazing. I don’t think I’d dare to move forward after adding all the black, it looked finished there and then to me. But by adding all the colors you took it to the next level. Your hard work and courage was well worth it.
Brilliant, Chrissy! Sounds like you have fun with the process and stayed very brave...love the result.
