So this evening I thought I'd make a pair of trouses (coat, hat and shoes too) for 'Leeta' one of the most recent releases from Stampotique.
Heres how she started off- just a head..
and heres what she looks like now, complete with body and outfit lol
Great fun, especially working the background- paint, inks, sprays, scraping, finger painting, and rubons all onto a factory clocking on card.
Her trousers, coat, hat and shoes were drawn freehand in a wiggly way to match the face using a black Pentel .5mm pen. Brads for buttons.
Stamp available from Stampotique in the USA or The Stamp Attic in the UK.

You've done her proud, Jo. Great outfit!
oh Jo I just echo everybody elses comments, you have done a fantastic job, stampotique should be getting you on board to design more stamps. I ve just got my first stampotique stamp and your work has inspired me, mine has clothes though, LOL, all the best Siobhan
great piece Jo. drawing - such an obvious solution which none of us think of - probably because we can't draw LOL. love the shades of green too.
Fabulous Jo! Love all of it.
I haven't got a blog but I often visit yours. Your Leeta is fabulous. I wish I had half your talent.
Okay! That is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!! Now I have an idea about what I can do with my "heads" lol!!!! Took a little hiatus from blog hopping but glad to be back to see what you've been up to! This is amazing Jo!

not sure if I like those Stampotique girls (they´re still too cute for me though I know that sounds strange), but I definitely love what you´ve done with her!
Great outfit for Leeta! Very Dickensian, she might just pick a pocket or two. :)
Brilliant (as usual, Ma'am!)!
Brilliant way to show off the stamp, but the background is what caught my eye. It has so much detail, colour and texture. Lovely.
wow, what a unusual stamp and so UNIQUE as ever..I Love it!!!
I LOVE it!!!!!!
Great idea, and fantastic artwork - you really should think about designing some stamps!
