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.

ReplyDeleteReally lovely projects-and how nice to have an art friend to collaborate/trade with! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I liked about the first one I did on your background! Not in my usual style! I LOVE that we're both stretching! AND how you've used 'my' eyes and mouth....totally different than what I would have done! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Great projects, love the combination of both styles.
ReplyDeleteomg, what a lovely collab! I love Robin's work and I was so excited when I saw what she did with all her different bits and pieces. You did something completely different with it, and it's looking great too! Can't wait to try out some things with those PDF's she so generously gave away! The one you send to her looks so sweet ...
ReplyDeleteWow - this is so cool! I love seeing how you did this!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks like so much fun!! Thanks for sharing!
