This is my first time playing along with
challenge blog and I hope
it isn't my last!
The colours we had to use in any project of our choice were
'Rust', 'Storm' and 'Deep Sea'.
Well that was easier said than done!
Rust was no problem as I had some
Friendly Plastic and Sari Ribbon
which fitted the bill and became a bodice and sleeves.
The other two colours
Storm and Deep Sea
took me a little longer to come up with, but I eventually settled on
some more Sari Ribbon and thin cotton
which became the skirt. I also had some Friendly Plastic which
perfectly complemented these colours and that became the
heart shaped hands!
I didn't set out to make a witch, but that's what she looks like to me!
Her face is moulded from air dried clay painted with acrylic,
water colour pencils and a Sakura Jelly Roll pen.
Her hair is fibres and her hat is more of the Sari Ribbon.
I painted on the neck so the head didn't look as though
it was floating in space!
She is glued onto mountboard covered with
old sheet music coloured with paint and edged with a
copper coloured pen.
Only the head and the bodice are actually glued down
so the rest of her can move (not that I've been playing
with her or anything ... cough, cough!!)
I'd never have thought of putting these colours
together, but I do love the combination.
One last photo -
her best withchy pose ...
Thanks for looking - I'm off to find her a broomstick now!
