Today I would like to show you my first manicure made with water decals. These water decals are "home-made" and I got them from my husband :-)
My husband plays subbuteo - table soccer, here is an interesting video from Europa Cup For Teams 2006, please take a look!
In his free time he enjoys decorating his little plastic men or more professionally his "three-dimensional plastic figures" of his favourite teams. He likes the technique of hand painting with adding some water decals, this is his "winning combination" :-)
He uses a special clear decal paper, stamps these very small images of sport kits, brands, sponsors and badges, cuts them and decorates his players with them.
So, I thought "Why shouldn't I try some water decals too?" and I asked him to stamp some water decal images for me. He agreed and said that I only have to choose from various vector logos (he uses them in Corel Draw), tell him what I want and he will stamp it for me, as simple as that :-)
The first thing that came to my mind were... flowers... :-) but this time I resisted to the temptation...! :-)
The second thing that I thought could be interesting were some cartoon characters, and for my first home-made water decals I chose "La linea", a funny italian cartoon character designed by Osvaldo Cavandoli (1920-2007), a famous italian animator and cartoonist.
I simply adore this character! :-)
Have you ever seen "La linea"? Do you like it?
Do you like my first water decal manicure? :-)
Have you ever made your own "home-made" water decals?
I have a slight feeling that I'm going to spend a lot of my free time searching for some nice flower vector logos...! :-)
