Pieces of New Orleans

I had someone interested in some collages of

New Orleans. I had done some awhile ago, but

they were all sold (that's a good problem!), so I

decided to do her a couple to choose from. Here's some

of the process:

1. Select some photos, papers, vintage postcards, etc

I am building these on some 12 x 12 canvases, so I need

to paint them first. This will be a nice taupe color, a good

neutral to add these elements on top of.

The finished product...still drying. I add the papers

and photos with Modge Podge (you know, the stuff we

used to glue all those pics onto empty bottles with!?)

Here's the other one. The little black lace fleur de lis

things are a pair of earrings I took apart.

These are fun for me, and I get

some quick results. I am having a hard time with some

of the things I am working on right now because they

are such long term projects. And I might not see the

results for a long time (I am referring to all the licensing

stuff). Sometimes I just want to finish something!

so here they are. I feel better!

I am getting some comments and emails that will enter

their name in the drawing for the French watercolor...

don't forget. I will draw soon!
