Painted her features in. I added burgundy for the cape. I like her 'come-hither-at-your-own risk" look HA! **wink*wink** check out the pattern on her cape: I used my Hot Topic stamps from Michelle Ward.
This is a favorite quote. Black acrylic paint on illustration board. Let dry. "write" persistence with Elmer's glue. Let dry. Paint over glue with black. Let dry. Now the fun really begins: Metallic gold paint all around the word. Feather it out - be a little sloppy. Add random colors to the corners and use many layers mixed with matte medium. I had no clue what this would look like when I started it. It really evolved and I just 'went along for the ride.'
Scan into computer. Add entire quote.

I love both of these. Is the top piece on fabric?

Uh, Joanne? I think you should totally stay over on the dark side!!!! These are really fabulous....I need to give this a try.... for real this time!!
Hi Judy,
Thanks for your comment, the top piece is on illustration board.
It's pretty hard to see but the red shape (her cape) has a texture/pattern made with rubber stamps.
Jane, this is fabulous! The dark side works for you : )
Hey Jane,
I love the dark side!! Both pieces are fantastic! Mixed media is soooo much fun!!
So Mysterious! The bleaching is so Clever! I love how you bleached the area for the face. Big Kudo's! now wheres the bleach and gloves.....xoSusan
Awesome! How nice of you to give e description of how you got this result. Elmer's glue is unknown to me, but I am sure to try some things with glue in the future. Helen
I'm lovin' your dark side :)
That was a fun ride I am sure and this piece is FABULOUS!! You're good, girl!!!!
...verry verrry verrrry cool, miss dudette! i chime in, your dark side is showing GOOD STUFF! my only disappointment, that i couldn't enlarge it. xo wanda
I love the mood the black lends to each piece. I've been wanting to try working with bleach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, dear blogging friends for your wonderful comments.
Wanda, you are right, If you click to enlarge - it doesn't do anything. hmmmmmm. Technology is a puzzle to me. I'll try to fix it.
Jane - the dark side is a really good place for you ! Wow! these pieces have a beautifuk edgy quality that is just beautiful!
Very well done Crusader!
Hugs!
Kim
super cool!
Hmm, I haven't played with bleach for ages. You might have started something! Persistence is a great piece, and the process sounds intriguing. Is Elmer's glue like a PVA?
Wow! I am blown away! Love the technique, and what a mysterious girl she is! Thanks for using the Hot Topic stamps! :)
Your 'dark side' works are gorgeous. It was a great prompt, huh!
I'll have to try some of your techniques. Thanks for sharing.
