She Dreams of Time....

"She Dreams of Time Before Forever" is a mixed media painting on matboard. The inspiration for this piece was my nostalgia for the past when life seemed so much simpler, the world alot safer and finding your place just seemed to be so much easier. That the notion of 'forever' always seemed to move forward in time with us but now only appears to be a phantom of times past.

This piece is collage, acrylic paint, gesso, spray inks, stamps,stencils, pens and pencils layered on matboard. The vintage image was embellished and colored with paints, pens and inks.

A MInd Must Open to Bloom

My February 4x6 vintage gluebook page for French themed challenge on the Marie Antoinette mailart group, made using images from new kit by ItKuPilli Imagenarium, ArsLonga, on DeviantScrap. The background, scroll, bird and woman images are from the kit. The floral border and quote are from a scrapbook kit by K&Company. I glued everything down and then layered acrylic paints, inks, pen and pencil...and lots of glitter to give it a vintage look. Please be sure to check out all the fabulous designers on DeviantScrap!

p.s. I am linking this piece to the TakeAWord blog challenge this week!
