Welcome! I’m Carolyn Dube – This colorful journey is all about the freedom of play!
I am becoming more aware of the little touches that make a piece of art look more polished.
Here is my theater from the last post. I liked it overall but I felt like something was missing.
After a few details with Pitt Pens. The yellow outlined the words but then I smeared a grey around the yellow. I also wanted a bit of color on the green edges – so I smeared a touch of grey around it. Love that Pitt Pens will be stay wet long enough to rub it around. It was subtle – just what I wanted.
Die cuts have been making me happy lately. I broke down and bought a Character Constructions die. What took me so long? It’s heavenly. Every scrap I have that is big enough gets run through that – now I have dolls everywhere.
To give the doll a little more strength I also die cut an old blurry photo and glued them together. Now the doll can hold up to sticking off the edge. The green bracket is a leftover from my Tim Holtz Ornamental die.
I used the same technique as my last post to dress up a photo of a church in Bath, England.
The photo was very drab. Not a lot of color – the sun wasn’t out helping my photos. A shocker in England I know…The sky in this one is Shimmerz.
