Looking through some of my stamps i decided to play with backgrounds.I wanted to create some A4 sheets that can be cut and used later.I love some papers that are available but much prefer to make them as and when needed. The piece to the right was one i made in the small hours.
Due to the bad weather..Enough said. My friend was unable to come today so you will get to see her creation next time. Her side of my desk looks sad and empty
The beginning of a head. Last week we set our task to make heads for Jack's girls well i hope you like mine. Ann's will follow next time.
I shaped a skull with a ball and artist Spackle.
Cut the face from an old tatty doll and painted it.
She sill looks like him just a bit prettier.
I will be putting a separate post on my blog so as not to take too long on this post.I know you will all be as busy as me blog hopping and posting comments. Hope you like her....xx

Hi Nelle, that is a nice page you have made, great colour. I have that PaperArtsy stamp set top right and love it. You did a very good job putting the face onto that clay ball and she does suit Jack very well......Happy WOYWW, Anne x #57

ReplyDeletepapers i dont have the imagination ,,and im still getting to grips with getting ink on my fingers !!! eek thanks for visiting and hope you have an awesome week Andrea#6
What a lot of red rubber to choose from. I like making my own background papers too. I often find that those you can buy or print are too busy and overwhelm the images. Doing your own, you can also match your colours perfectly. Thank you for your visit today and have a good week. xx Maggie #20

Hi Nelle, please check back on previous comments.....have been unwell and now waiting for urgent MRI scan.....no gory dtails though!!!!! I love her. You have done some amazing work here and sculpting that head and attaching the face is a MASTER STROKE!!!!!. She looks divine. You really did set yourselves a challenge, but oh, how lonely that ball looks on the other side of the desk!!! Really great work, can't wait to see what the other will look like!
ReplyDeleteCan you not now set US a chjallenge????? UGH I hear, what about invitations to name the glamorous girlfriends? Or will you be doing that, I do have a few suggestions and after all jack has hos name!!and yes, I now know you have too many stamps!LOL. But great work creating your own papers, I often cheat and stamp over or re colour ones I've bought! Does that count Nelle. Chat soon

Have not done that, but a huge No..Nothing creative is cheating it comes under altered art work. Working on a challenge idea. You are invited to join us..Will let you know the details soon. xx

Cool! I love your dolls. You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteWOw, those dolls are amazing..they could be used by animators! YOur stamp desk is incredibly inspiring, the possible combinations for backgrounds are such fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys....Can i just say having been to Nelle's home a few times the stamps are just a tiny sample of what she has. what started out as a couple of bits her collection has grown along with her crafting talent & anyone that knows her & has never crafted always come away inspired & crafting.....yes me too not that i get time to do it, with work & grandchildren
ReplyDeleteKeep it Up Nelle another great project xx
