Fa shion Sh ow
By Jenny Higham
To make these designs I traced the figures
from photographs. This idea works particularly
well with old photographs but there is no reason
why a contemporary picture cannot be used.
Photos from magazines are also a good source,
the most important thing is to keep the image
simple.
Materials Required:
Scraps of Natural, Tan and Brown coloured
hand made papers.
Scraps of Very Light Cream paper.
Scrap of Gold holographic card.
Black mulberry paper.
Old newspaper.
Silver half gem.
Tracing paper and pencil.
Carbon paper.
Brown fine tipped felt pen.
P.V.A. Craft adhesive.
Card mount: AP10U-35, Black.
Actual Size
To Make The Card:
Place the tracing paper over the diagram
and trace all the pieces. You can use any natural
coloured, brown or tan papers for the different
elements within the picture. Most of the pieces
I have used are wood effect papers however,
magazines are a great source of pictures from
wooden furniture to patterned fabrics, all of
which can give fantastic results.
Slip the carbon paper between the tracing
and appropriate brown paper, keep the paper
face down so the lines will be on the back.
Retrace over the lines to transfer them. Use
the very light cream for any flesh tones.
Assemble the pieces gluing them into place
as you go, you will notice there are large over-
laps on many pieces to allow for this, use the
assembly diagram to help with accurate placing

of the pieces. Begin with the main body piece
and build up onto it. Add the face and then the
hair. Next add the left arm gluing by the shoul-
der only then add the dress tucking it under
the left forearm.
Glue on the right forearm. Add the wooden
pole, tucking it under the left forearm and plac-
ing it so the right elbow is just resting on the
top. Add the shawl over the shoulder. Glue on
the bangle cut from gold holographic card and
stick the half gem onto the shawl at the shoulder.
The background to this design is made from
black mulberry with embedded newspaper
scraps. You can make your own easily enough.
Tear up a few scraps of newspaper so they are a
suitable size. Place the scraps of newspaper face
down onto a sheet of newsprint and rub them
over the surface, this will dirty the whiteness
of the background so it does not look as stark.
Using a damp tissue, blot the edges of the news-
paper, gently pull away fragments of the damp
paper to soften the edges. Glue the newspaper
pieces onto the black mulberry paper.
If you are going to rubber stamp and emboss
a greeting onto the card, do it before mounting
your design in case the heat affects the wood
papers.
Glue the background into the card on the flap
behind the aperture. Glue the figure onto the
background by the lower body and pole only
allowing the rest to keep a little more separation
from the background then glue the card closed.
Here are two other examples. I made these
by tracing from photographs and used different
wood effect and patterned papers.
