is a challenge to do something with a torso. This is what I made:
I started with some really smooth heavy paper/ light cardboard- I have a roll of this stuff I bought at the YSM so I am not exactly sure what it is or what it is made for, but I like working on it. I drew the torso, cut it out, gave it a copper acrylic paint coat. I had a piece of this really strong checker board looking lace from another YSM find, I think it is fabric from vertical blinds which I pasted onto the torso with acrylic medium. I was using the heat gun so I tarnished the edges with the heat gun a bit. This torso has just been laying around on my art desk and I add left overs from other projects as I go along, lol. I added some left over acrylic paint dry brush to it. Finally the word and the bird showed up so onto the torso they went. I gave the word and the bird an acrylic wash around the edges so they blended in. I like the torso... what shall I so with it?

Hi Carol,
Your torso for the challenge came out really nice. You asked " What could you do with it?" Make a paper doll! :)

I have several torso's just hanging on the backs of doors in my studio. The kids love them! They also jump with surprise everytime they open a door and a gently swinging, life-size body is there. So I don't know how big your "body" is, but how about hanging it to sway in a breeze?

its cool. thanks for explaining how you made it. i like the bird too. you could mount it in a shadow box frame and put it in your bathroom or near a dresser, to remind you about the value of individuality or something...
Your torso is awesome!! Love what you did, thank you for participating I've just posted your link and picture on my blog.
Happy Creating
Aileen~
