Only a day late for this sketch. I started it yesterday, but wasn't able to finish until today. I turned the sketch on its side to fit the images I wanted to use.
On white c/s, I brayed the different colors of Distress Inks, starting w/ the mustard in the middle and using progressively darker inks toward the edges. I stamped all the silhouette images w/ coal ink, added white highlights and used markers to add shadows beneath the images. The panels are edged w/ black, layered on the s.sun then a black layer.
The long side strip base is the g.green w/ strips of s.sun and 2 sliced off strips of my image panel bordered by black. In place of the center layer, I used some straw mesh ribbon w/ a few edge strands removed to give the frayed edges.
Raffia was tied thru the buttons before they were glued on. I was going to put a sentiment, but I sort of ran out of room, lol, so it will have to be on the inside.
Thanks so much for looking.
