Background Making

I (Leanne) decided we needed more different backgrounds that will not need permission and will tie in well with the page. I thought about scanning in items.

I thought for the hair I could place lots of hair bands, bows and a comb on the scanner and see how it comes through. As I could not close it I tired it with just the lid up then next coverd it with a scarf. Next was make up, I thought use all sorts of make up as if it was paint however I realised this could not be scanned as it would damage the scanner. Then had the idea of using just eye shadow to colour the paper and use eyeliner to make a pattern on the page( I 
did one before pencil then with). From the pencil 
shavings I had one with no background then added the paper that had been coloured. For the nail page I thought of once again using nail vanish as paint. I made it drip down the page and made it thicker in place to give it depth. To dry and help the drips I hung it on the washing line, this really helped the effect.

My other ideas was that I get all my handmade jewellery and place it on the scanner to create the background for the Accessories page. I did this a few times however kept changing the placement of the items.

There was other pages such as the photoshoot and beach body which do not have a background that we had already thought to use. So I thought it be great to use scarfs, fabrics and jeans to be some more background ideas. I did the same item about 3 times in different ways to get different looks.
