Paint Party Friday - My Party Ornament

Welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday! I drew my party ornament for you today, isn't she glamourous? It's done on good quality coloured cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic and fine point marker.




Here is a photo of the piece so you can see the metallic finish on her shoulders.



And here is the actual ornament, it was a challenge trying to recreate all that black tulle:

What a gorgeous ornament, love how you painted it. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie

the tulle does look difficult to draw/paint. I know mine would be laughable at best as I'm not much of an artist. I think you did a good job.

Mark said...

I think you did a pretty good job given all the tulle.

Susan said...

EVA said...

Lovely Christine! Very glamorous indeed!

Its a gorgeous ornament - reminds me a bit of ones my Mom had with skirts of spun silk (though in a Louis XIV/pompadour style).

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Wow...great recreation! I think I like your picture better.

You did a great job. I love it. I'm on a "PPF" till next year. Just can't fit it all in right now. But I do enjoy seeing all the nice things you are doing. I can only do one at this time, so I'm sticking with Creative Tuesday, as it's not a weekly one.

I like how you painted the tulle, that's very clever, and you've succeeded in painting something that I would consider quite difficult.

Jo said...

Beautiful!!

Christine said...
