So I flipped thru several fashion magazines and carefully cut out the models. Then I glued the magazine models to cardstock and cut out the dolls again. I was pretty happy with the way that the canvas turned out. I used spray paint and acrylic paints. Then I made a mistake. I started stamping various designs over the paint with archival ink - bad choice. It seems to repel paint. So when I spray painted the canvas white, you can see little black flowers peeking thru here and there. As you can see, the paint got under the stencil so I didn't get the sharp lines that I had envisioned. Even though I'm putting a photo of it up now, I'm going to do a lot more work on it. This will just be my bottom layer.
However, I did discover that any time you cut out a paper doll, you also have a reverse stencil, so I played around with some of my citra solv papers and convolution papers that I have made and this is what I came up with.
I think these are kind of cute. Maybe I will make some small ones that I could put on greeting cards. Sure - I'll get right on that. See you later.
