This card is for this months Fan Club October theme - Creepy Crawly.
At first glance this image looks quite normal...take a closer look and you will see a near-dead bird in her hair...how creepy is that!
The image is just printed on normal copy paper. I couloured her with Prismacolour pencils and Zest-It pencil blend. Highlights were added using Copic markers. I am not precious about my Copics, but if you are it's probably best to clean off your marker on a scrap of paper before putting it away.
On an image like this, I colour the most difficult things first - eyes, then face, then lips. If all that works I continue on my merry way.
After I finished colouring, I carefully tore around the edges and then adhered her to a rejected mixed media background using a glue stick.
When I was applying double sided tape to the completed panel, I somehow stained her face. This is where my card got seriously creepy. The only thing to do was to amputate her face. I ever so carefully used a scalpel to cut around her face and then scrapped it off.
I've attached a little insert so you can see where I cut into her. Because this is just copy paper, and it was stuck on a gesso base, it was easy to cut out and peel off. I quickly printed a new face, coloured it then stuck it in place.
