This was a little diversion
piece I made while taking
a break from a larger piece
I was working on.
I've found for myself, it's good
for me to have a few things I'm working
on at once.
This way my mind and brain
is refreshed by something new,
without having to stop creating art
(which would be so sad).
I finger painted the background of an ATC card.
While that was drying, I drew my subject with
colored pencils on a piece of Bristol paper.
She was brushed with a light coating of matte
medium and then allowed to dry before
collaging her to the card.
I added some designs with pitt pens and
a few cross stitches with some bright DMC thread.
I like her "milky' appearance, and it's kind of making
me want to go in the direction of a geisha.
She almost has that look about her.

Thank you for visiting!
Is she for the swap? She's gorgeous! I see the Geisha connection too.
ReplyDeleteHi Steph! Thank you. If you approve, than yes I think she will be. My original intention was to do a few for practice because I wasn't sure how she'd turn out.
DeleteShe's perfect for the swap, Terri! She'll find a happy home. 👍
DeleteSo nice to hear. Thanks!
DeleteI just read your reply to Steph, Terri. You don't need any more practice. She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris. I'm so glad you like her.
DeleteI adore this little artwork Terri! She has the look of a Geisha, but also I see Frida Kahlo.

Thank you Alison. You are appreciated!
DeleteATCs aren't the easiest size to work on - this is really beautiful Terri. I admire the amount of detail on your gorgeous girl and fabulous background. Lovely happy colours too :)

Thank you Gill. The nice thing about the size is that it doesn't take long to see progress, which is always encouraging to me. : )
