11/13: Monday Sketch & Chaps
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2023 9:20 pm
Welcome to the Wild, Wild West - where this town ain't big enough for the both of us . . .
Join us all month long as we visit the historical period of the American Frontier in the late 19th Century, characterized by lawlessness, violence and most importantly, adventure.
A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.
Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing).....
For today's project, I was inspired by chaps that cowboys (in this case cowgirls) wear. Chaps go over a cowboy's pants to further protect them from hazards of wrangling cattle, horseback riding, etc. When putting this Wild, Wild West project together, I not only wanted to feature the cutest cowgirl I know dressed up as "Jessie" from Toy Store 2, but I also wanted to use layers like a cowgirl's chaps. So I folded the top left corner down and the bottom right corner up so that bits of paper peaked through like a cowgirl's jeans would when wearing chaps. My challenge to you this Monday is to not only use this fun sketch from Sketch N Scrap as your guide, but also feature "peeks" of paper on your project; much like a chap! I can't wait to see how you all interpret this sketch!
Here is the sketch...
And here is my project...
