Done, done, stick a fork in me, I'm done!

I've worked the pink lady as much as I can.... I'm finished with her, and I'm not "thrilled" with her, but am happy I learned to work her and throughly enjoyed the class and learning the process. I'm not much of a painter, and made the second piece last night using the transfer and rice paper technique. I ended up stamping the painted background

So beautiful! I love everything about these!

thanks....doese the second one look like a mug shot? It's actually a photo of a wooden bust I took this weekend. I tried to age it a bit with walnut ink... but it just made a big wet mess!

Rest assured. It does not look like a mug shot.

That walnut ink is great stuff, but it sure can be difficult to work with. i use the kind in the spray bottle and have had a bit more luck with it than I have with the free-flowing kind. Recently, I've learned to spray it onto the corner of a piece of terr cloth and lightly rub it onto my paper. Less mess that way.

I'll try that! Thanks.... I've tried every way to be "subtle" with the ink!

These are fabulous! The pink lady turned out really well... even if you're not completely happy with her, she looks great.

The wooden lady does NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT look like a mug shot! You're funny! In fact when I saw her, my first reaction was, "oh wow!"

[sagewillowcre8]

;o).... thanks! I still don't care for the pink lady!

I'm working on something "new" today.... I'll post when it's done...

I feel like I've been given the "create" drug these past few weeks! I can't stop..... not that I'm complaining! LOL
