Here’s another collage inspired by Emily Dickinson. This one is on a chunky canvas and I tried something new for the background, I stitched organza fabric onto of the vintage music paper. I think it adds a nice soft romantic touch. The focal point is a stained wooden tag with vintage book paper, a silhouette on canvas, the quote and a bird charm. I also added a muslin flower with a vintage button and wrapped some lace around the canvas too.
I caught another fairy:) I took a vintage image of a little girl holding a basket of flowers, colored her and added a rhinestone to her dress and gave her some yellow and green wings. I placed her inside a wooden box I painted green and then crackled with white crackle paint. ( Tim Holtz’ Picket Fence white), I think the white makes it look very shabby chic:) I also added some fake grass at her feet, an aged tag, vintage looking key and a piece of vintage wooden yard stick.
