I couldn't figure out how to make a character IDENTIFIABLE as a cosmetician - I mean the white coat thing can be a doctor or dentist too - So I went for a caricature and wound up with a bad Joan Rivers look. NOT what I was going for.
Small picture is scary enough - do NOT click on it to make it larger - might give you nightmares.
I decided it was better to move on quickly to the actual cosmetics.
Word window - trimmed with an oval to get the shape left by your mouth
Metal part - 1 inch circle rounded "in" with the same punch then trimmed straight up the sides
Base - 1.25 circle rounded in with the small oval then trimmed straight up the sides
Lid - 1.25 circle - trimmed straight on the sides (same as base) - used negative piece left from punching as template to draw the inner curve.
Grabbed some shimmer paint and added some highlights to the case and metal part.
Carrie, I'm gonna stop here and give the cosmetician some more thought - there MUST be an idea floating around somewhere - I just need to wait for it and not force it.
Oh, Ellen! You sure did brighten MY day! Of COURSE I HAD to click on it. She's a hoot!
ReplyDeleteOK, I did it. You taunted me so I had to click on her. I love her eyeliner. The only thing you are missing is the cloud of strong perfume wafting around her. I would love to see you make that one hee hee. Girl you are so inspiring with your blog. See you on VC_R.
