It's All About the Hair!!

Time for a new challenge over at The East Wind's Facebook group!! The theme is "It's All About the Hair!" We want to see your wild and crazy hair ideas over there using any TEW image. Crazy hair, crazy colours, both!! Let your hair down and let us see what you can do! 

Here is my DT inspiration using Lucy Loo "Scent of Spring": 

I coloured the image with Copics, and used Gelatos around the edge. I matted it on a silver metallic card stock, then again on silver glitter card stock, and I used a black card base, so you can't really see it in the picture. The hair was time consuming, lots of little flicks!! 

Don't forget there are also twice monthly challenge on the blog, PLUS we'll be running another mini colouring contest in September. Keep checking in for info on that. The current mini-contest closes on Sunday, so get your makes in by then for a chance to win!!

Thanks for visiting!!

The East Wind New Release Tuesday

Welcome! Today we have a new release at The East Wind - Lucy Loo 'Hair Heaven'. The moment I saw this I knew I had to do it. The hair is AMAZING and I wanted to colour it so badly! It took me about four hours to complete the entire image. 95% of that time was spent on the hair. I coloured her with Copics using the R30's for her hair, and then went back over the shadows with a black Prismacolor pencil to deepen them up. It was a labour of love, truly.

I spent so much time on her hair, in the end I didn't know what else to do with her. I couldn't dress her up with a bunch of embellishments, so I applied Aged Wine Frantage on black cardstock, then applied Aged Black Frantage on the white around the image. I adhered the image to the black and then used gold glitter cardstock as the base mat. Whether I put her on a card or in a frame remains to be seen. I think she may be one of my most favourite pieces and will end up in a frame in my craft room. I love her so much!

Make sure you check out our Make It Krafty challenge in the Facebook group, and the twice monthly challenges on the blog. There is a stunning freebie for newsletter subscribers coming out on April 1, so subscribe if you haven't already. One of the monthly challenges is colouring up the freebie!
