Make a moo or two - MEN

Make a Moo or two - Cats

I haven't has as much time to devote to art this week. I managed to produce these Moos.

Make a Moo - Cream, Beige, and Brown

Sometimes the challenge is the size of the artwork and othertimes it is the theme. This one was bit easier than most since I love working with earth tones. I used gessoed pieces of cardboard to stamp backgrounds in cream color ink. On the Moo with the naked women, I wanted to extend the motif of the swirls, so I added an additional background stamp in Beige. I then stamped the woman in Brown (which makes the white paper appear somewhat pink). I also highlighted the tattoo (which is swirls) on her with a gel pen in copper sparkle. The other Moo has a little girl in various shades of sepia and beige with her doll and some words in darker brown. I edged the piece with a bit of dark brown ink to to add to the overall faded look.

Make a Moo or Two - stripes and dots

This week's assignment for make Moo or Two is stripes and dots. I have some various background papers with stripes on them. I have to admit that I prefer more subtle backgrounds, so I really had to dig around for these. I have several different size circle punches ranging from 1/8" to 2" diameter, so it was just a matter of fitting the right circle punch to the right picture. I then added emphasis with gel pens around the circles. I also added some Midnight blue ink around the edges of the Moos to give them definition.
