I have this friend at work, he is about to retire... We were talking one day and he tells me that he LOVES Betty Boop, in fact he got a tattoo of her on his arm when he was 50 years old! He said "That's my girl!" So I made this for him... :)

I wonder what kind of books he'll be marking with that? If it is a bookmark.

Hey Roo, On this one the carving only measures 2 and a half inches by 7 and a half inches. (Very Small) For color I used a set of ultra thin SHARPIES I bought from Staples! The only paint is the white eye-balls (acrylic). The border is done with Ball point pen. All high tech stuff! :)

I like using ordinary things on projects. The pen in the border is a great idea. I used to use carbon paper to transfer patterns onto leather.The black added some shading along the cuts although it was a bit messy and I think the residue contributed to the blade getting dull. I wonder how the sharpies would hold up on something like a seat?
