Done, done, stick a fork in me, I'm done!

I've worked the pink lady as much as I can.... I'm finished with her, and I'm not "thrilled" with her, but am happy I learned to work her and throughly enjoyed the class and learning the process. I'm not much of a painter, and made the second piece last night using the transfer and rice paper technique. I ended up stamping the painted background

thanks....doese the second one look like a mug shot? It's actually a photo of a wooden bust I took this weekend. I tried to age it a bit with walnut ink... but it just made a big wet mess!

Rest assured. It does not look like a mug shot.

That walnut ink is great stuff, but it sure can be difficult to work with. i use the kind in the spray bottle and have had a bit more luck with it than I have with the free-flowing kind. Recently, I've learned to spray it onto the corner of a piece of terr cloth and lightly rub it onto my paper. Less mess that way.

I'll try that! Thanks.... I've tried every way to be "subtle" with the ink!

Thanks for the support! I did cover the image with a light gel medium...but I "rushed" the whole thing last night via a heating gun!

I feel that your next class will be something that is much easier for me to wrap my head around! I'm looking forward to it.
