I wish!!!!
My friend Anna discovered some body parts hidden away in the pool shed when she moved in with her new partner – No, not real ones silly!! Mannequin parts and display torsos.
We decided to alter one of the wall torsos each as a first attempt. I gessoed and covered two torsos with muslin with another layer of gesso over top. They looked almost like plaster at this stage.
Anna chose a vintage look for hers …….
I chose some brighter colours for mine, spraying the base with Adirondack Colourwash Sprays.
To cut a long blog post short, here are the finished art works:
What do you think?? Pretty awesome, huh???
