"Kendra Ann"
The Artistic Mother's Group: project 6
I've missed you! It's been a while since I've posted anything for The Artistic Mother's Group, so I decided to jump in again by finishing a piece for Kendra that I started before our vacation. The majority of it was done at the same time as the one I made for her cousin, Grady Joseph.
As I had already completed a nameplate that closely followed the one made by Shona Cole, I decided to make this one a bit different. It was done on a smaller 5 x 7 canvas panel using handmade papers that were distressed with charcoal and water-soluble oil pastels. I also distressed the picture of Kendra with sandpaper before cutting out the silhouette and highlighting it with a white China Marker. Final touches included a stamped letter K (placed on the bottom of the piece and in lieu of her full name) and a single Swarovski crystal at the ear. It hangs on a sage satin ribbon.
Thank you for looking! Now on to project 7 . . .
