Beside the Seaside

Beside the Seaside

Beside the Seaside is for the Create an exhibition poster for “Make up Your Mind” exhibition WITH MAKEUP AND OTHER STUFF which is now open for entries. Voting will start for this challenge in 6 days.

I created this on a substrate of brown paper, the dresses are from corrugated cardboard, and i’ve used some gingham for ribbon and pockets….

the other things i used were black boot polish for the hair, blue hair gel for the sea, plus blue nail polish for the water, along with white lipstick…. pink lipstick for the cheeks rouge and a brown tinted lip gloss to draw the legs and shade the faces…i used an eleliner pencil to do the eyes and lips, i have also used photoshop and some foundation for the shadows under their feet :)

We were asked to create a poster to advertise the upcoming Make Up Your Mind Exhibition in Sydney at the Manly Arts Festival which we hope to go in…that will be in September.

it kinda looks cute in a frame, i couldn’t help myself….don’t expect any sales from it though, just for presentation purposes of course :)

    OMG!!! this is absolutely COOL, Karin!!! i’ve read about the makeup your mind group!! man, this sounds so fun~ didn’t know there’s such thing as such bright blue hair gel!! is it Scotty’s? hehe.. I absolutely love this.. i love the colors and the mixed media.. will you guys be putting this poster up? =D i tried viewing the bigger image, but it won’t load.. i like the textures you have in here, Karin! Great Job!! =D

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    lol, THANK YOU!!!
    you are sooooo enthusiastic fa…i really do miss you my friend, it’s lovely to hear from you on RB and quite a big surprise :)

    the blue hair gel was for Ben’s on one of his school dress up days i think….! Scotty is not adventurous…he likes to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out :)
