Ever have those chores you HATE to do? For awhile mine was vacuuming - I'd put it off until it HAD to be done.
After that it was grocery shopping - I'd beg my kid to go with me so I didn't have to do it alone - I dreaded grocery shopping.
Mopping has had it's turn as the dreaded chore, as had bill paying (thank goodness that didn't last too long)
Right now - it is taking photos of punch art.
You've probably noticed I've just been throwing them down on notebook paper or scrap paper and snapping a photo.... same thing today... wonder how long this one will be the "hated" task?
Hind Legs - Full Heart - trimmed off at point end
Chest - medium oval
Head - medium oval
Ears - small heart to heart
Paws - circle itty bitty punch pack
front legs - modern label but I had to slim it some
Tail - large oval around a hole
Bow - 1/2 inch circle and small heart to heart (2)
What I figured out on this kitty was the EYES
I wanted a curve and point
I saw the HOLE left by the 5 punch flower in my punch droppings
Grabbed my smallest circle and snipped the "inner points" on that hole
Sounds weird - just punch a flower and you'll see what I mean.
To get them identical - punch two - layer your "holes" (now that does sound weird) and punch them at the same time.
Oh yeah - I'm sure there is a simpler way to do this - I'm just telling you what I did.
Tune in next time to see another beast built almost the same way.
Love your kitty! I will definitely making a few for my feline friends' owners. And don't worry about the backgrounds! alene
ReplyDeletewho cares what the background looks like ??? your punch art takes center stage ... I for one, never noticed the notebook paper. keep in touch with the inspiration fairy ... she doens't know where I live!
ReplyDeleteWe don't care what the background is. We just want to see your great punches.
