This week saw me create ‘Supermum’ for Mother’s Day for Orb Hair and Beauty, New Farm.
First, I sketched an outline in pencil on lightweight foam board before painting over it in indian ink. I then collaged beautiful handmade Nepalese papers sourced from Kami Paper in Fitzroy to create her clothes and accessories … including her superhero cape!
She is a multi-faceted Supermum … in more ways than one! Her bold cherry red cape enchants passers by whilst the magic of her brilliant blue ensemble bewitches those in the salon!
She was a great deal of fun to make! Catch her in the salon indulging in some all important Mother’s Day pampering at the hands of the very capable Orb team!
A very happy Mother’s Day to all ‘Supermums’!
