My art is about the joy of creating and experimenting. The act of creating is more important than the result. The time spent is a form of worship and thanksgiving to my Creator for my gifts and talents.

Altered Umbrella Man
I really like the Tim Holtz Umbrella Man Die. That being said... I sometimes wanted him to have a different arm. Sometimes I didn't want him to have an umbrella. This is my mini tutorial on how to make Umbrella Man without the Umbrella.
*How to Give him a different arm....
Cut two Umbrella Man dies.
Die A: Cut off his right arm holding the umbrella.
Die B: Cut off his left arm and part of his body (so you'll have something to glue it to the other die).
Flip the severed limb over and glue it under the right side of Die A. You might have to trim his shoulder a bit.
Now you will have to put texture on his coat or cover it with paper so you don't see the seam. I used Golden's Clear Granular Glue and then painted it black.
And there you go.... Umbrella man without an Umbrella.
Only other paper crafters would not think it was odd to have a conversation about cutting off arms and gluing them somewhere else.
