I haven't done a challenge in a while - so i thought i would dive right it!Mixed Media Monday's theme this week is "blues and purples". I did a collaged notebook cover.
These are fun to do - because you end up with a nice piece of art that has a practical use! Not that i will ever use this, mind you. But i could, maybe?
Someday? Anyway - isn't she sassy? Reminds me of Joan on Mad Men.
I started with some swirly striped tissue paper as a background. That dictated a more contemporary feel. I looked through (my recently sorted) images for a suitable subject. I found this gal from a fashion magazine. She was black and white - so i could colour her anything to make her fit the theme. I ended up creating a purply blue cocktail dress out of dot scrapbook paper for a skirt and scrunched up tissue for a bodice. The original was actual feathers! A few sparkly bits complete her outfit.
I added the sticker stars for a vegas nightclub effect and the words "hot stuff" and "sizzle".
