This is one of the paper pins we made on Monday night at my “Paper Porcelain Pin” making class. See my entire tutorial on making these pins here. I’ll be publishing the date of this class (I’m going to do it again) soon.
You can see from the side view (shown left) that I made a second wing in 3 layers of Riding Hood Red paper and then adhered it with a Dimensional.
The face (noteably the eye) lacked clear definition, so I added one layer of the head/beak/neck stamped on white and colored in with marker (Ruby Red & More Mustard)–see last photo below, and then Crystal Effects over the entire thing. The branch and rhinestones were added last.
Okay, so, how did I do?
Amy, this is just fabulous! You are a master at what you do!
How did you do? How did you do? You do absolutely gorgeous work. I love this stamp set and ordered it, but then realized it is probably beyond my talent. Especially after seeing this amazing work. WoW! Love it.
