Collage with embellishments
This was a tearing frenzy of tissue paper and Indian-made silver flecked papers. It was a good way to clear out some anger and frustration. A few days later I revisited this piece and the random tears were taking the shape of a posy of flowers so I continued on with children's metallic glitter glue and pale pink bling and it has turned out quite soft and feminine.
For the 1/2 dozen sparkles I used here I was required to share just as many (and the rest) with Fleur on her artwork. It can be frustrating to part with these little treasures but I try not to be too precious and say "sure you can have some" hoping the novelty will wear off.
When a parcel arrived for her from overseas and out tumbled an array of unusual bling I immediately wanted some for the wands on my fairy cards. Her response to my request was of course "sure mum, you can share some of my bling". Lucky I shared mine in the first place!

Kerry,
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. I like the softness of the lighter pink flowers. Must be the Indian paper?
Thanks Diana. There are two different pale pink papers, one with glittered patterns on it. There is a painting of a pink cat underneath the whole thing that wasn't going well & the colour of that also alters the colours of the papers over the top.
