"I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas Plays .....P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker
face" Eat your heart out Lady GaGa - here's my version of 'Poker Face'!!
The first challenge over on the new Flickr group 'Art 'n' Soul' is to alter three bottletops to be made into either wearable art or as a little wall hanging.I recycled some used bottletops and left them un-squashed (mainly because my last attempt at flattening some wasn't altogether successful! I Gesso'd and painted them black then collaged inside them with some miniature playing cards, dice and dymo wording. The face is moulded from air dried clay and painted with acrylics. Everything is set into the bottle tops with Ranger's Glossy Accents.
The bottle tops are attached (again with Glossy Accents) to a thin chipboard frame which itself is painted with acrylics. A suede cord and little metal charm (a hand of cards) finishes it off.
Oops, I don't know if it's my eyes or if this last picture is out of focus - well, I think the background is ok anyway - lol.
