Down with the Fish
Traded
Wednesday Stamper's theme this week, Fish, elicited a more or less surrealistic piece out of me. I can't think of anything friendly when thinking of fish - wonder why is that?
The Fish will be entered for DCM's Charity theme as well. The base of this collage is a magazine ad for Polycolor hair dyed from a 60's magazine, acquired recently at my local thrift store.
Friday 4x4 threw "France" in the air. A fun thought, but I had to go with an atc. A 4x4 just seemed too unmanageable. (Means I'll have to train it!)
Paris, eh?
Traded
A short word to technique: I spread a big glob of (blue) Pebeo Gloss on the (treated) background paper, then stamped on this thick smear of color. This resulted in a negative stamp - background color stayed put, the stamped image was sucked empty of color. I'm thrilled, this opens up a lot of possibilities!
Clickety click- click both for big!
