Day 858: Saving face?




"Christy", paper collage on canvas



I am still on elf duty. 
Making these little canvases for upcoming sales.






I don't have an assembly line, but
I do work in stages.  
Stage 1 can be seen here.
Today is stage 2 ... 



4 x 4" acrylic & paper collage on canvas



hair and background basics.



6 x 6" acrylic & paper collage on canvas



And, you may be noticing a common thread?
When WW and I shopped Saturday (mentioned here) ...
one of the store had this great tissue paper.






The clerk gave me extra with my purchase ...

 I've gone overboard, as is my nature.



8 x 8" acrylic & paper collage on canvas



It may be an acquired taste.

Until it feels okay.



6 x 12" acrylic & paper collage on fiberboard



There are other treatments ...






these are about 3/4 finished.
They will get faces, stage 3, eventually.



"Checkerhair", collage & acrylic on 4 x 4" canvas (sold)


Most faces will be simple like "Checkerhair" above.
Fun, but time consuming.







A smile for Monday ...
