We had an extra celebration today but really for Rueben every day seems to be one big feast!!
Now for more collages for the collage exchange. By the way this is what will happen with one of my collages:"The collages will be welcomed in Amarillo, Texas by the AMoA Art Stampede - chuckwagon steak dinner and beer, levis and boots, live country music and a "celebrity" to shoot the starter pistol and kick off the stampede.The tentative date for the stampede is June 20th, 2008Proceeds will benefit the Amarillo Museum of Art youth education programs."
Sound exciting. Pity I won't be there to see and taste it all!
This one is called Elegance is an Attitude and figures a map of Truelove country (a vintage postcard in my possession), french text and the couple in the trees (also from one of my vintage postcards). The gentleman made me think of Napoleon for some reason. Well, her dress is definitely empire style so that might be why.
This next one is called Inspired by Nature and features two copies of adverts I've taken from the French magazine Femina, April 1908, also in my own possession. This is a very girly looking collage as I've used pastel colours too and the addition of 3 vintage buttons seemed only natural
The final collage for today is Love is For Ever. On this one you can see the raised areas I created by pushing light molding paste (from Golden) through sequin waste in the shape of hearts. I've also foiled on top with gold. You will recognize the picture of my grandfather from yesterday and the lovely looking lady is from one of my favourite vintage postcards.
