I just couldn’t throw her away and I didn’t have the inspiration to start a new face cane this last week. So today I wanted to continue the canvas and polymer clay ideas that have been running around in my head. I decided that this cane was perfect for my explorations.
This One ?
I love altered art and have collected “things” for years. I do Birthday presents for my friends and cards now and then. I’ve been wanting to mix altered art with polymer clay for quite some time.
Or this one?
I’ve laid everything out on the canvas and I’m pretty happy with the placement of things, but I’m still trying to decide about flower. Flower in her hair? Soft or bright? As an accent? More needed?
Flowers in her Hair?
I’m still toying with the idea of earrings. I like using old jewelry pieces too. The couple dancing is a scanned reproduction of a drawing my Dad did in the 40’s. I’m not sure just when, he didn’t date it, another reason I try to date everything I do.
Or just as an accent?
So that’s what I’m playing with today, and if nothing else comes from it, I am having a blast. Tell me what you think?
Absolutely blown away by your mixed media art. I have scrolled back and forth several times between the four and am drawn to the first one because her eyes and the messages seem to stand out. My second choice would be the third one because she looks so hurt, sad ,…that her dreams didn’t come true. However, only you, the artist ,knows which one speaks to you. Keep sharing ………….
Oh thanks Linda for spending some time with them all, I think a agree with you about the first one. The subtle color of the flowers doesn’t draw your eye away from the rest of the information on the canvas. Her face and neck have more color than needed anyway.
Creating the blouse from clay was fun to do. I can’t wait to play some more with this concept. Thanks again, Linda.
Been away from blogging and look what you’ve posted! I love her Alice! Her face is so expressive! I agree on the hurt look on her face in #3 – very eye catching. What fun indeed!
Hey Aimee, I have been working away. Glad you like her.
