This cute image from Our Daily Bread was stamped in Memento Black, then scanned so that it could be enlarged. He was printed in very light gray to tone down the black in the stamp. He is colored with copics and pencils. The burlap came from my neighbor's garage and the brads were added since gluing on burlap is not always secure. The patches all of small stitches on them and so does the "tears" in the shirt. The shoes have small laces and thread ties and the patch has a few stitches around it also.
Small enamel accents were added to the drum since it just kept looking like a paint can to me.

Nancy, your creation is resplendent in every possible way. The stitching, the textures, the coloring, the distressing... I would probably never give this away.

Oh, Nancy, this is amazing. Your coloring is absolutely exceptional. And your burlap is a perfect addition to this masterpiece. I would frame this if I were you :-)
