She Art!

A while back, on Facebook, one of my friends posted a picture of a canvas she had done and mentioned She Art.  I LOVED the look of it!  As you all know, the last thing any of us needs is another hobby!  :)  Well, too bad!!  I had to give She Art a go.  After searching online for more, I came across an online workshop offered by Christy Tomlinson.  I signed up and finally had a chance to start watching the videos.  I love the way Christy teaches.  It's casual, yet packed with techniques and ideas! And... it's FUN!!

I am such a 'gotta measure it' and 'gotta have my ruler' girl, that I knew that I had to just go with it!  Talk about freeing!  I'm still in shock that I did this.  I know that the scale of my girl is off a bit, but I'm ok with that.  I so enjoyed that there were no rules for these girls!

I have to admit that I haven't finished the all of the workshop, but I just couldn't wait to try my hand at a girl.  Here is my first attempt...

 

The part that scared me to death was doing the hair.  It took me a while to get up the nerve to do it!  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I know that I'll like it better after I've done a few.

In this picture, you can see that I used a lot of rub-ons and stamps.  The banner is just MME stickers that I glued on, painted on, doodled on... 

Next up... A tiny bow!  It is mine, so it had to have a touch of ribbon!  I really coated it and stuck it down with Mod Podge, so it won't go anywhere and it's stiff. 

  

Finally, I decided that I was keeping this one.  The sentiment is added last and this is the one I chose for me.

 

So that's it!  My first attempt, but certainly not my last!
