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 ...
