first abstract collage

This piece is something a little different for me. I can't believe how long I struggled with it but I like the way it turned out.I started with tissue paper from a gift bag on a gallery wrap canvas.added paint ,some dry brush.then the leaf. It's 8x10.

Polaroid emulsion lift

Did this at the workshop too. Kinda kewl. Mark photographed my peacock feathers then we put it in boiling water and lifted the emulsion to watercolor paper.

This was composed of a vintage photo and some peacock feathers, taken with Mark Greggs (the teacher) Polaroidcamera,then transfered to watercolor paper.

Polaroid transfers

I went to a Polaroid transfer workshop yesterday sponsered by the Firelands Area Art League. This was from a photo I took with my digital camera.It was a lot of fun,however, I don't have the equipment to do this at home. :-(

I finished this one yesterday and really enjoyed creating it. I love the poem that inspired me.

painted background

The background is a digital photo I took of a very textured painting I did then added a photo digitally.

There was something about my collage"Beauty" that bothered me. ( Look at earlier post)The man in the lower left corner! he looked like he was falling. So I took him off and put another"beauty" in his place. I think it looks better.What do you think?
