Frida Challenge May
Frida Challenge
via
Gritty Jane
I decided for this challenge to try my hand at photo transfer once more..
In the 'Lifebook' class I used this technique for the first time and loved it!
This time I left out the collage' base and transferred the
black & white image onto watercolour paper.
Below is the next step - A colour wash over the whole of transfer and border,
to give me a feel of the colours I wanted to blend.
In the following step I used gesso to cover everything to provide a key,
then I acrylics applied over face, hair and clothing, finally a decoupaged rose.

Doll pattern arrived...
Yay! Vintage Boudoir doll pattern arrived :0)
She will be 33" from head to toe!
The legs on this pattern are not elongated enough
and I prefer to work the torso & limbs separately.
I will be making a doll from my own design after the initial
trial doll using this vintage pattern.
I would also prefer to have the stitching seam
at the front of leg, & not to the sides,
I am really enjoying this process so much already :0)

Frida Kahlo Challange May 2012
I know...many of us have painted Frida inspired paintings or joined in a Frida challenge before,
but perhaps it's time for one more! If you have been in a creative funk like me,
this might just be your ticket out.
So here it is:
Paint or make something Frida Kahlo inspired sometime during the month of May.
Message me (rather than posting it to my wall) a photo and I will add it to the album.
There is no competition...no prizes to be won...just an opportunity to stretch yourself and join in the fun. ♥
Wait...there is one rule. It has to be something NEW (done in the month of May).
Do not submit something you
have done in the past, ok?
