a mish mash of things

Well I am rooting my fingers to the bone so to speak with 2 babies at different phases of the rooting process!
I also recived a set of luminaire paints in the mail yesterday so was itching to have a go and see what results are possible with these paints. So I got a few layers done on Vivien just some colour correcting (her head is painted in the pic and arm is the blank vynil colour) as you can see she still has a long way to go before she is neautralized as she is quiet  orange, she is the older real effects vynil their vynil these days is a much nice colour to work on..
and remember orange is corrected with BLUE not green. make sure your layers are really thin though you shouldn't beable to see any blue on the vynil. Its a good idea if you don't know much about colour theory to get your self a colour wheel. Locate the colour your vynil is closest too on the wheel and then you use the colour that is opposite to it to neautralize.

Little Ravi (aka Shim) is on the way home as of yesterday so sad to see this little one go but he is going to a fabulous home and will be well loved.

more on Nele layers

ok I know I said I would post these the other day but life happened and I got busy and distracted so am putting them up today

layer 10 was a wash of the lime turquoise colour
layer 11 I thought she was looking alittle grey so I did a yellow wash


layer 12 was alittle more blushing using brown and burgundy


layer 13 I can't remember for sure but I think it was more blushing

and then my camera ran out of battery but this is what she is looking like now and she is patiently sitting on my drying rack whilst I root lorena maes hair I can't wait to get little Nele finished though she is just so precious!
