I have not been as idle as my lack of posts might imply. I’ve actually been doing a lot of experimenting. I’m taking another online class called 21 Secrets Live. Every week a new artist spends 90 minutes creating some kind of art during a live spree cast. What I’m really enjoying is that each artist has a totally different style, uses different art media, and works on whatever project she feels like doing that day. I’ve learned a few new techniques, tried some color combinations I wouldn’t have otherwise tried, played with some new art media, and just generally gotten inspired. I’m four weeks into a 21-week class, so the fun has just begun!
“Rastafarians” was sort of inspired by the week 2 artist, who used stamp ink pads to create colorful backgrounds. Instead, I used a brown stamp pad to give a weathered look to a crumpled up Trader Joe’s bag, added a tissue paper sun and grass, glued on two sculpey clay masks I created months ago and didn’t know what to do with, fabric skirts, crazy yarn hair, a water color pencil surf board… it’s taken me a couple of weeks to finish because I just keep adding more stuff! The photo really doesn’t do justice to the three-dimensional effects.
I love them!! They look like butterscotch………..I wanna lick their cute faces (:
Very cool “mon”!
Wow! You’re getting more and more creative! I love the textures! Is the one in the yellow skirt doing squats?
