Rustypuppy

Starting green swatches… though not sure what part of Prussian Green is, well, green. 🤷

Went ahead and swatched the turquoise because it was there, then ended this page with some nice greeny greens. 💚

Had extra paint come out of the tubes when I mixed them, so played on various papers … all are 300 g/sm2 cold press ….

1. Artist Loft - Michael’s brand, Level 2 (3 is Pro), I just don’t like the look of it., will likely use the rest of this pad as a base layer for mixed media projects.

2. Fabriano - 25% cotton, higher end than #1, it works

3. Arches - 100% cotton, this is the Good/Expensive Stuff, I like it the best because of how the colors seem to stay a bit more vibrant and the look of the texture of the paper.

TLDR: This is my fabric mixed media art interpretation of End Piece, from the comic

ARTIST THOUGHTS 3/3: This is the little guy that really started it.

Looking at the character designs and personalities, I tended toward Toast. Flipping through my fabric stash, however, brought out this fabric and it immediately identified as End Piece to me. I was even able to cut it so the horizontal beige line became his brow.

One googly eye was standard and easy. For the oval lazy eye, I had to peel away the backing without destroying the front curved plastic (attempt #1 failed on that point), then add Gorilla glue to the correct place on the inside of the peeled backing to fix the pupil in place (attempt #2 was successful on that point).

Because the eyes make the piece of Bread.
