...For Crowabout, Three Muses, and Pointy Hats and Wings
Water...
...was the first thing I thought of when I stepped back from the finished collage and took a good, hard look. It makes me think of an undersea world, or a huge aquarium that the boy is standing in front of. I hope water is an auspicious sign for the new year. It's also the Three Muses theme this week.
Most of the images are from Crowabout, but a lot of the border are pieces from my private stash. The background is lots of thin layers of acrylic paint, and "2010" is penned.
Short and Sweet:
Tuesday was like traveling a long, rocky road which left me exhausted, so this is a short post. Wednesday will be better (and already is, as it's a fair bit after midnight now). Thankfully I'm at a place in my artwork where all goes well even if the rest of the day is poor. This collage was a labor of love!
Have a great day, Everyone!
fantastic!!!
