This little whimsical sweetie is my very own design as is her octo-head dress ❤
I drew her back in 2013 and thought time to bring her out. I love her as I can accessorize her any which a way 😀
So the background is a play with Dylusion and Paper Artsy chalk paints. Check out the close up here (click on image for larger view) – loving how the paint plays with each other nicely.
So here I go my first official personal blog post EEEEEK 🙂
I always start my projects with an idea board. I gather all the stamps, stencils, inks etc that I feel would lend themselves to what I see in my head. Believe me, what’s in my head is a scramble bamble of ideas trying to become something cohesive. So the idea board helps me test out images placement color etc before I commit. I say that as my investment to a background takes me some time to color and light placement/balance and would not want to see ruined on a whim. But that’s how I roll and its ok cuz there are no rules in art cept mixing the wrong colors to get mud unless mud is what you want LOL 😀
