Untitled



Hi


Just stopped by to share the finished piece I've been working on in

 collaboration with my blog friend Robin.

Robin and I have been working on each others backgrounds 

and in this piece I have also used cut outs from Robin's pdf's  of facial features.



You can see progress pics in my last post here.

Hope you like her.

In Collaboration



Hi

Lately I have been working on a little collaboration with my blog

friend Robin Cox Walsh.

 You can read a bit about it and find a link to her blog in my last post here.


I can now reveal one of the finished projects as they have now arrived safely over in the USA.


Girl by Carol. Background by Robin.


Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the other project but it was a little

sketchbook containing some Khadi paper for the pages and

Robin's background paper was used to make the cover and a paper bead.


However I can share with you what I am working on at the moment.

Here are some progress shots. Once again the background was supplied by Robin and

I have used some of her drawings of facial features cut from some

 pdf files downloaded from her blog.




I added some random stamping and a bit more paint to the background.









I have used acrylics, coloured pencil, and oil pastels on her face and some

 collage papers for her dress.


There is still more work to do but I love her eyes and her mouth.

 A different style to what I would usually do and that's what makes

 collaborating lots of fun.

Thanks Robin.

Backgrounds


Hi


My blog friend Robin suggested that we swap background papers

and see what we can do with them.

I have already worked on a couple of projects which are now winging their way

back to the USA so I can't share them as I want them to be a surprise.
.

After reading Robin's last post I had the idea of using one of her

backgrounds and some facial features from her pdf downloads to create

a little character.



Something a little different for me but might be fun.
