Heart Lab: kirby by Sarah
I really really really LOVE Sarah's work, her paper dolls are my favorite. So I was super psyched when she agreed to give us a peek at how one of her lovely ladies come to life. Enjoy!
Oh and there's only a few left in her shop so you better click and hurry before I beat you to it... thought it was only fair for me to give you a head start :)
1. Sketching first draft: 15 minutes
2. Measuring and drawing final draft onto cardboard: 25 minutes3. Cutting her out and trimming the raw edges with a cutting knife: 25 minutes and nearly losing a finger4. Mixing paint for the perfect skin tone, hair, and dress: 20 minutes
5. Painting: 1 ½ hours (forgot about lunch)
6. Photographing & Uploading/editing photos: 30 minutes7. Writing description and creating a new listing for Etsy: 20 minutes whilst listening to my boyfriend read ‘Rumplestiltskin’ to meWant more Sarah? Go check out her blog at ohkirby.blogspot.com and her second shop kirbyvintage.etsy.com - she admits to having a slight obsession with hoarding vintage finds and owning this shop is sort of like therapy!
