New Talismans in Progress

I have some backgrounds prepared, ready to be assembled into more talismans.  They are very satisfying to make, the whole process employs so many different techniques: painting, stenciling, stamping, collage, scribing, sewing and that is before I get to the really fun part of adding the little figures and their jewels.

When I started on the background sheets last week, I took photos, intending to do a step-by-step of the process, but I got involved this week and totally forgot to take more photos.  I will do this at some time, promise!

I really like the variety you have going and I understand how easy it is to forget to take photos - once you are in the zone that is all that matters. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product, Rolina. Happy creating!

I do the same, forget to take photos when I want to show people how I do something since I get lost in working :p

Rolina said...

Heh, Jennifer, I am glad I am not the only one!
