There is nothing more relaxing for me than to work on an art project! I am still having fun with my new book by Julie Nutting, Collage Couture. I love her ideas! She is able to draw her models but I have a hard time getting them to come out they way I want. I used her suggestion to find a magazine and use a model in the pages of the magazine. I bought US Magazine's Hot bodies issue and found many great models. Here is one below.
I photocopied the picture and then cut out my model. I did make mine just a little thinner. I will keep my template to use again whenever I want. This is really an easy way to get the model you want.
I cut out 3 models from the Sunday newspaper. You can really use anything- old dictionary, music or an old Atlas! I was wondering what the funny papers would look like?
I painted my canvas board with Claudine Hellmuth's acrylic paints. I also used small bubble wrap to make my bubbles. You press the bubble wrap on your canvas board in any length you want. I love how it came out!
The hardest part for me is painting the hair. I need to really practice getting it right!! It is fun trying to come up with a good hairdo! Here is a side view of the finished project. My sister, Connie and I went to LL Bean's to get the feathers. You can find a great selection in the fly fishing department. I plan to use them in some future cards for embellishments. Feathers are my new favorite thing! It was fun dressing these models!
