Picture, if you will, a 12 inch by 12 inch white, canvas, blank slate. That is what I started with to make my She Art Girl #2. Below is how i wallpapered the canvas with decoupage and vellum, and beautiful patterened papers from Crate Paper Pink Plum collection, 7 Gypsies Ecriture Avignon paper (thats the white script on green background) and Orchestra Avignon paper (that's the musical notes paper). I also used a bunch of acrylic paints mixed with liquitex coarse testure gel and for added dimension, I used a couple of pieces of mesh (one came from a bag of clementines). I made my own caged bird stamps out of thick foam run through the Vagabond and that turned out great as a background stamp. Here's what it looked like before I added a ton of texture to it:
I have begun cutting out my Girl #2 pieces. Here she is--just lovely! Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And I see her done in my mind's eye! I love her as much as Girl #1!
I've got company arriving in a little bit, so probably won't get much more done till tomorrow. See you then!
