Altered Illusions

I can finally get back to do some artwork - the two week jury duty is over, contract negotiations are completed...now all I have to do is deal with the car issue - hit a deer the other night, so I'm off to get estimates and talk to my insurance agent.

These are two examples of the second set of Skinny book journal pages I completed for the swap at Arttechniques . The theme for this set was "Goddess". I used a wallpaper sample again, coated with gesso and various acrylic paints and overstampled with Stazon inks. The goddess shape was cut from textured wallpaper and sewed on, couching some colorful yarns in the outline. I'm happy with the results! More later!
