Think this is Wendy's choice, but then it could be mine - I don't think either of us know half the time who chose what. Anyhow, it is Art Deco and the colours are Red and Black.
I didn't know what to do for this and began by thinking about the sun ray design so popular with this era but then went on to doing another design which I thought was going to be easier, but turned out not so in order to try to get straight lines.
I painted the background Red because this page already had some red on it and then using the same red and a stencil from Dylusions I did a design in the background which I thought echoed the sun rays a little. Next I painted my black sections and then went around them with my white Molotow pen. I had a little bit of a diecut in black floating around my desk and so I tried it and lo and behold it fit at the top almost perfectly.
Next was the figure, I drew a kind of Charleston lady to fit under the square arch and began looking for a Dylusion head to fit onto it. Trying several I ended up with a bouffant hairdo which I cut down to represent a turban type hat. Was going to add feathers but time did not allow as I was off on my travels to Amsterdam the following morning so it had to stay as was. (When I asked Chas what he thought he said it looked "Indian" - should I have agreed or been insulted?)
Anyway, here it is, no time to try to replicate Art Deco lettering - it just had to be. Must say I did not enjoy this one as much as the week before but it was ok - not looking forward to next week at all.
OK so her head is a little large for the body but with an attitude like hers what can you expect?
