As mentioned in yesterday's, Day #2695, here,
each member was to bring a small, handmade gift
for each member at our Eastside Christmas Potluck.
1. Short on time, I visited the local dollar store and
bought plaid, cloth ornaments to use as a base.
2. Painted each ornament with white gesso for a future face.
3. I used a permanent marker to draw the face.
4. Each one a little different?
I did all of the faces first.

5. Once the face was on, I started tissue collage, using gel medium.
I finished the backs with gesso and marker for the date.
Easy, fun but time-intensive, what do you think?
Just because ...

What fun to have original Jacki ornaments on the tree! These are keepsakes. :-)
What a clever idea and your faces are so creative. I am certain you impressed everyone.
I had to laugh at your funny, because the grandson that I see the most told me he wanted to marry me when he grows up. (He had told his mom earlier that when he gets married, he will have to marry someone who likes art.) I guess I fit that box.
