Another tag, painted on both sides. I love the colors I used here - they were sort of surprising, but I liked the woodsy feeling of the tag. The woman has a sort of stunned look on her face (lets call her serene), but I still love her. The face was a little difficult to paint because I had given the tag some wonderful texture with light molding paste.
The back, I painted with titan buff, then covered it with sap green hue and lifted the sap green out with stamps to reveal the titan buff underneath. I love that sort of weathered look. I then added some reddish and gold dots. What do you think?!The tag is available in my little shop!

Silke, she is absolutely perfect. You did a great job. The green is so powerful and calming...

I love this one - how can I help it? You know I am crazy about green!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I like it! The texture, to me, makes her look scarred, and proud to wear her scars, for she knows her beauty is just beneath...like NieNie, the plane crash survivor. Oh Silke, have I told you that you inspire me, cuz you do!

Oh, Silke, I love these deep, rich colors. She is fantastic! The little leaves above her head even look like they have veins. How great! And that is a great technique you used for the back. It looks beautiful and perfectly weathered.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
to me she looks bewildered, silke, and it is an adorable bewilderment!
ReplyDeleteyou can paint leaves! the textures and colors remind me of what our angela is doing. annie coe is experimenting with textures and plaster. and anne. and probably pam. it seems this is the week for experimentation. me: i just finished 30 pages of second draft work and it's on its way. i feel accomplished!!
