Trinkets

Stay tuned these are coming to my Etsy shop.

Mermaid

I re-cut the mermaid smaller, painted and inked the pieces.

I glued some of the basic pieces together

I'm going to collage her onto hand-painted paste paper.

Paper -doll dress doodles

More doodling on paper-doll dresses.

I cut the images with my scan n cut. Then I water colored them. I used my favorite pen, Sakura graphic pen in sepia.

 The edges are "aged" with an old brown stamp pad.

 

HOW i USE MY SVG FILES

I start with the file. I use Inkscape. A simple way of turning anything I draw, into vectors, then I can use these components to create my design.

These were cut using a brother scan n cut machine.

These are from random kits that I will have in my Etsy shop. The circle is a test cut. I used 140 lb water color paper 9" inches x12 " inches.

I removed them from the cutting mat, and painted them with water color.

After painted them I added doodles and calligraphy. 

I love this cutting machine.I have created some SVG designs from my sketches.

I cut them from water color paper.

Wow! So much fun!

Here is a purse example:

 I cut the purse SVG file from watercolor paper.

Then I painted the pieces with watercolor, then doodle in some patterns.

Then I put the pieces together by punching holes and adding  brads.

Then I created more cuts from some paper doll files, and clothing files.

I cut out the paper-doll pieces, on watercolor paper. Painted them with watercolor paints, then punched the holes, using a pencil to line up attaching pieces.

Finished paper-doll.

Then I played with cutting out paper doll clothes and embellishments.

I used a sepia graphic pen to create the doodles over the water color.
