I'm combining my sample for today's Masked Fun WT challenge (masks - images with masks, using masks or stencils, using masking techniques) with this week's sketch and TPT Tuesday challenges.
Teapotters to the rescue again - thanks to Anne I had the perfect image for a fancy dress party. I'm not sure if I personally would choose to go as Harlequin, but it's a story I love. And I do play the flute - so maybe it is actually me in disguise ;-).
I masked the base to sponge the two stencils - reverse chicken wire and trellis. The RAK image was coloured with H2Os and sponged with a TH mask in the foreground.
I stamped over the whole base with Linen in Old Paper, and then added some sponging with gold luster rub-ons and more Old Paper. I found some buttons to pick up on the colours I'd used and stitched them to a strip of burlap to fit with the rotated sketch.

Sabrina, you've given us a pretty high standard to aspire to! A mask on the harlequin, masking on your backgrounds and also making on the flourish sponging on the main panel! It's all so well done. I love the use fo the burlap and buttons too.

How wonderful! I love that Harlequin figure and I totally forgot I actually have that image. Now I remember why I loved it, lol. How great you play the flute! I had to for a while when my E flat clarinet was stolen and I had to order one from France. They were a little hard to come by, lol. Not too many composers wrote music for it so I had to take the flute music and transpose it for my e flat.
