floral lady


floral lady, originally uploaded by sapphire252.

An altered magazine photo. I made the flowers out of various paper, etc. The tie-dyed flowers are actually baby wipes coloured with watercolour paint. (Another technique from Bernie's wonderful book - see below!)

This will eventually become a page in an art journal.

Beautiful. I've done something similar over on my blog. I'm thinking almost 2 years ago now. Great job.

Great job on all your faces, Nicki. I just did some magazine trace-sketches for Michelle Ward's street team, on my blog, if you'd like to come visit me. I also have new lesson homework uploaded to your class sight, finally finished the workshop I was doing first. xoxo
