Made this from assorted scraps from the big fat envelope that came the other day from The Artful Dogger. “Collage Fodder Ephemera” swap on swap-bot.com was right up my alley! I had some leftover kits to share and got to swap with three partners; I hope they liked theirs!
Here is the description from flickr:
7×9 oil pastel, colored pencil, STAEDTLER pigment liner enhanced b&w Lunagirl image; vintage book page, woven wooden paper (dress piece), and rose leaves from The Artful Dogger (swap-bot partner ‘Collage Fodder Ephemera’) rose bouquet from 80′s ‘bridal style’ coffee table book. frame Classic K designer cardstock.
painter effect added post scan in collage creator…
The image may be 100 years old but there are a great many romantics roaming this earth today. Thank You Kiera!
So I am trying my hand at portraits again; the process of ‘colorizing’ a b&w photo is good exercise if I am ever going to start painting. But that is a leap I am afraid to take. This makes me happy for now despite the condition I’m in overall. Today is going to be a GOOD day!
