Riikka workshop 2: She was wearing summer in her hair

hello lovelies! How are you? I hope you haven't been washed away in our great British summer? The rain has reached us here now too but fingers crossed its not been too bad! Long may that remain. Thanks or your kind words about my dad. I won't go on here about him - he's not improved - thats all you need I guess.

Today I would like to share with you the results from my second workshop with Riikka Kovasin. This workshop involved drawing a face - Riikka did give us the option of using stamped faces but I wanted to try and have a go. Anyway this is what happened....



I spent a lot of time phaffing with the face - and of course I am not happy - but it is the best face I have ever done - so on one lever I am pleased. This is what she looks like ...

A more arty shot to get the dimension

I may well alter this headress a bit - I think I need to add a little more brown to compliment the colours in my room. We'll see!!!!

In fairness to Riikka I will not go through the steps but most of the products are from the Finnabhair range.

Big hugs to you and I hope i have better news soon!
