I thought I would share a little glimpse of work in progress on a little project I am working on. Did I say little - erm well maybe strike that. I started this a couple of weeks ago and sort of lost my mojo, and the items have been sat on the table for a couple of weeks.
It does take a while, as I needed to paint the back and the fronts, and I began to lose the will to live! (Crafters will relate to this as we are an impatient lot and want everything to dry immediately)?

I finally found some mojo yesterday and finished painting the reverse sides (well most of them - I have found a few I missed, which will be rectified in due course). I then started to add some decoration - the fun part. I used Posca pens, Craft Artist Glitter Touch, and some Nuvo drops.
Since taking these photos I found my stash of googly eyes - the heads are now coming to life. The next job will be to add the arms and legs to the bodies. The aim is to create a sort of game for a little lad, so that he can mix and match bodies and the heads.
As you can see this is going to be a longish project, and once I have finished all the fronts, I will really need to attempt some sort of decoration to the back, and then varnish the whole lot. So watch this space!
