Mixed Media & Marvelous Jewels!


Hello, fans of BoBunny! It's me, Maria Potapovich (mellpellmell), here for you today.

And today I'm going to show you how I made a green-eyed beautiful woman!

Of course, so you can make any portrait, but then first you have to draw the outline of the face, and then be a little more neat than I was.

So, first we need a sheet of white paper (or colored, but monotonous!), PVA glue, thread (of any color, but the contrast with the color of the paper).

Soaking thread in the glue, we can easily lay it out on paper, repeating the line of our sketch (I did not do a sketch - I did not need accuracy, because it is not a portrait, but just an ordinary woman's face image)

Looking a little closer, you'll see how the threads formed, and it is also seen that sometimes glue dripped onto the paper - it's not scary! Then you can remove the drops, and small droplets after drying hardly be seen!

In fact, at this point you can stop if you're a fan of minimalism...
But if you like a bit more brightness and color, then proceed to decorate with me!

At first we should add the lady's eyes and earrings.

 I think these earrings are well suited to the color of her eyes. Is not it?

Now I will add a little blush, lipstick and a flower in her hair.

String of beads - it is always elegant! Let's add it!

For lovers of mild extravagance I can offer to add color her hair with a suitable spray!

Now you only have to insert the portrait into the frame and gave it to the prototype!

P. S. A little secret: making someone's portrait, you can not draw a sketch, but print it using the printer with thin lines!
