I played Russian roulette with my printer for this challenge. The directions were to use a fabric glue but I didn't have any so I used a glue stick and some vellum and prayed ... a lot! I got a lot of smudged images but a couple that were good to work with (and my printer survived the game!)
And with Talk Like A Pirate Day 2012 a fading memory I thought Prate Kaylee was the perfect image.
I used the other images I printed to practice before I used one of my good prints. After working for the last 7 weeks on blending in my Copic class it was hard to work on fabric because the method is SO much different. I ended up stippling the contrast colors very carefully and watching the spread before doing the next dot. It turned out OK I think except for the feather (garn!) I decided I wanted a bluish background to ground the whole image and I got a little too close to the feather with my BG000
Here are the Copic deets:
Clothes/Shadow: C0,C1,C2,C4,C6,C8
Feather/Cheeks: R27, R29, R59, R81
Hair/Treasure Chest: E77, E74, E71
Brass hardware: Y35, Y32, Y38
Eyes: B34, B97
Sky background: BG000
