MAKING A FAUX FLATTIE
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:05 pm
Howard's recent work 'duplicating' zinnfiguren--or rather what's more commonly called tin flats or flatties--got me inspired but in a different direction.
I decided to see what was available out there already pre-cut and came across an ETSY dealer who sells little die-cut silohouettes--this one--see photo--she was able to make the size 2 and a half inches for me. You get about dozen of the silhouettes and "backgrounds". I'll be experimenting with these this weekend--I think I can more dimension by layering the pieces--I am out of super fine glitter--white--which I think will work best
I'm also undecided if I will 'color' these in or leave them as silhouettes--we shall see
Anyway see photo below
