She dreams the future

She dreams the future, originally uploaded by Reluctant Aquarian.

My first stab at a beeswax collage. Woman's face is a sticker I found at the First Friday Art Walk in downtown Phoenix.

New year resolution faery

She was an ordinary woman until New Year's Eve when she set a most unusual resolution: In 2008, she would grow wings and learn to fly.

On the half shell

She dreams of swirls and magical underwater worlds. Done for the Flickr Saturday Surprise group's "magic" challenge.

La nuit

This is for the "la nuit" challenge at Dans ma maison il y a... . It is not beautiful and artsy like most of the entries there. It's what I could do with 5 stolen minutes at work, hoping my boss wouldn't find me gleefully pawing my stash of magazine cut outs and playing with my glue stick. The background color is done with watercolor pencils - still trying to figure out exactly how those could work better for me. Better color selection would be a good start. I may rework the background color to fit better with the blues inside the house...

Here is a piece of ephemera for you to play with.

bionic seniors

The prompt was "metal and bone" which made me think of hip and knee replacements. Thus the metal legs on my ladies.

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Watercolor, acrylic, rubber stamping, papers from magazines and scraps from other collages.

Made for the Saturday Surprise Challenge group on Flickr. Theme was WATER.

Also for Mixed Media Monday challenge on paint.

I hate this scan. How do I get rid of the ridges where paper overlaps under the paint?

Nectar

Done for the 4x4 Friday challenge: floral. Background is a card I recevied for Administrative Professionals Day, the woman's face came out of a magazine as did the word. I also used gesso, acrylic paint, and a rubber stamp.
