I finished my second canvas tonight (the one we started on Monday afternoon). Because we finished the first one so quickly we decided to do another one .. this was from the March 2008 Cloth Paper Scissors... the background and concept is Kelly Rae's but the face was done using my own techniques that I am comfortable with vbg...
With Glenda and Elizabeth we worked through the face step by step using Tom Bows, Neocolour and pens and techniques I learnt over the years in my Cloth Doll days.. and have found the same process works very well on canvas (prob better because its flat where a dolls head was curved lol)... was very pleased with the way mine turned out after a few earlier disasters lol .. and have now given up using paint.. will revert back to the pens and watercolours... life is better IN my comfort zone lol.
One more day and start a month's holidays... hallelujah! cant wait... am home for Christmas then head up to Wagga Wagga on the 1st.. back home on the 9th... and possibly a couple of days here and there with friends before its back to the salt mines...
I would be very comfortable with my faces if they were this gorgeous!!
Fabulous work - I love the canvas in it's entirity. Kelly Rae's book has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try things I had not tried. I love it.
Thanks for sharing.

This canvas is absolutely beautiful, as is the one you gave to Barb. I'm in love with the background ... very Kelly Rae. I've bought her book ... might have to actually open it now.
