Wind Me Up
Today I woke up a bit sore after having to do some cleaning yesterday. It made me think about this project I did a few months ago. It was while I was on a fantastic retreat with several precious girlfriends, inspirational leaders, and all around talented ladies.
Enough gushing, here is the project. I have to apologize, because I was given the paper and I don't know who makes it. The wind up lady stamp is Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe and the butterflies are Stampin' Up. The background stamp is from Studio 490, Just Sew Artsy.
I stamped the wind up lady three times. Once in Memento London Fog, twice in Memento Black. I colored the two images stamped in black with bright Copic colors. I then cut the two ladies in half. I took care to cut out the image with extra to allow for the fastener. I and attached her back together with these tiny brads from Tim Holtz, so you can straighten her out.
Notice how the the lady is hinged and can be pulled up to the colorful butterflies. I attached a loop of paper to the hinged lady, wrapping it around the slits in the background paper. Attached a ribbon to each side so you can pull her from the grey shadows to the bright colored world above.
Feeling a bit like her today.
My back it sore, but the minds still soars...

ReplyDeletethis is so cool Chris!
ReplyDeleteThis is one my favorite projects. I love how she "floats" up to the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI've been hoping you'd post this project, wanted to see how it was finished and framed!
