Tiffany gave us the challenge to Drip Drip Drip for this week's MIX challenge. I watched her wonderful video and watching the watery drips reminded me of tears. I used water color pencils on water color paper to make the face. Then I added extra water to make the eyes teary. Later I went back with a black fine point pen to add some more lashes and darken the pupils. Her headband is the top of the watercolor paper where I tore it off the binder. Then I sprayed it with Glimmer mist. The background has acrylic paint, gesso, stamping and some chalking. I popped the face out on dimensionals.
The thing I like best about this piece is that she could be crying for so many reasons and you as the viewer can decide how you think the story went.
Thanks so much for taking a peek! Now, why do YOU think she is crying?

Well, since I was crying (rather loudly) last night, I'll say it's because she thought she'd found the perfect country house until she walked into the kitchen! It was like only a 5'x6', if that and no way to enlarge it! I've been in several cabins on vacation where the kitchens were much larger! Very disappointing~ You did a great job with this, Kathleen, and I love her eye color! Very interesting piece of artwork=magnificent!!!

WOW you DREW this? Amazing and never thought of the challenge as tears! I'm thinking tears of happiness! Going for the positive on this. Kathleen, this is a wonderful work of art and imagination. Love your card.

Wow, Kathleen, this is super creative! Her eyes are almost mesmerizing! Since you added hearts, I'm guessing she's crying because she doesn't think she'll ever find her true love...

What an amazing piece! You just can't browse the gallery without stopping and giving this a closer look! Stunning drawing skills! I say since you have a piece of movie strip, a time piece and hearts, that she has just watched the movie, "Somewhere in Time" You can't watch that and NOT cry!

Kathleen, this is a Mixability Masterpiece!!! Your hand drawn face is incredible, so much expression, and her eyes are beautiful and, to me, they look sad like she is missing someone she loves deeply!!
