I started with the female figure. I had no idea where I was going with this, so I began by digging through my paper stash looking for ideas and inspiration. Lo and behold after several hours flew by, I came up with this:
I really like this one. Not bad for a virgin effort. I used stencils, stamps, german scrap, rub n buff, magazine images, acrylics, corner tag, metal corner, dictionary entry, plastic sticker thing for brooch.I've also started a 9 piece ATC series inspired by a White Stripe's song. Here is a sneak peak:
Also been playing around with Inchies, these should be done and posted by this weekend:
And an honorable mention goes to these 2 pieces that I've also been working on:
The above one is almost done. Below needs a lot more attention.
I have to wrap these projects up this week or set them aside, because I've commited to a 25 page skinny book due August 1. Can't wait to start it!

i love cabinet cards too. they are so melancholy - almost sad in many ways. i believe by altering them you have given them a new, happier life.
ReplyDeleteSusan~ I luv, luv, luv the altered cabinet card....
ReplyDeleteI would feel the same way when I would start the ALTERING part~like these were real people, with real relatives. Why don't they have these photos, and why do I have them, and now I am painting on them...okay, you get the idea.
But, this was a very clever alteration my dear =) ILOVEIT!
