Well I'm pooped!
I've been at it all day...finishing
up the Masks that is.
And they are DONE!
I'd like to say the were real easy..but
they had me in tears and yesterday
I realised I was scared of working on
them, as I didn't want to "stuff them up"!!
So I painted up some sample swatches
to experiment with, that way, any mistakes
would be made on them and not the masks.
Or so I thought! I was working on the
Summer Mask and tried to apply a stamp
with Staz-On ink. Of course, I had to be
BLACK and it had to be the ONE
permanent ink pad I own...and of course,
it smudged..and it was the LAST mask!
Fortunately, I hadn't disposed of the paints
on the tray so was able to fix it up.
Oh...and I couldn't find the eye lashes
I'd bought in town on Tuesday so had
to go back down and get some more.
But, they are completed now
and I'm really happy with them!
First up is SPRING
SUMMER...
AUTUMN...
and WINTER...
Now to display them on the wall....
Over the past few days I've had some ideas
but that can wait for another day!

Love the four season masks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments. It's a bit scary putting myself "out there" when there are so many amazing artists that are way better than me!
DeleteOh wow they look fantastic and love your quotes on each of them. :)

DeleteLooking at the masks with "fresh" eyes makes me think maybe the white of the journalling strips stands out a bit too much and maybe I should have gone for more subtle to match the mask. I did think about it but didn't act on those thoughts as I was getting pretty tired by the end of the day.
Oh well...maybe next time...
