Handmade Parade: Mini Portraits


Two years ago, I made mini portraits of my sister- and brother-in-law's menagerie. These sweet keepsakes are on 6 x 6-inch framed cradled panel.


I used a Chartpak blender marker, black, grey, and white coloured pencils, graphite pencil, acrylic paint, and a matte gloss medium.


It's a techinique that I've also used to make people portraits for other family (because as previously reported everyone needs some art with their own face on it!).


They can be hung on the wall and are also deep enough that they can stand up freely on a bookshelf or mantle...
