My daughter-in-law, Reannon, and her family came to visit today, and to spend the night with us. Reannon brought a scrapbook she'd made in memory of her mom, who passed away in December. It is a very nice piece of work. After supper tonight Reannon and I spent some creative time together.
This is my collage below called Inspire. It's all paper. I used cardboard backing with a tissue paper overlay. I cut the little girl from that same old retro calendar that the last piece came from. I made her wings and trimmed them with gold leaf pen. I used a paper lace heart doily, rub ons, stickers, and magazine clippings. It's finished off with gel medium and a sprinkling of gold glitter.
Here's Reannon's piece. I think it looks fantastic. It's her first paper collage, and she used the inspiration theme too. I like the way she did the scripted paper and torn tissue for the background. She used a copy of a photo that Tara gave me some time back, some stickers, magazine clippings, and pieces of some old calendars that I'd cut out previously. She finished it off with confetti stars, a bit of gold leaf, a medallion, and some gold, purple, and green glitters. She glazed it all together with the gel medium.

These look good. Hopefully, we'll have time to do art this weekend (and possibly dinner? :) ) I'm craving Italian or Rusty's.
Ohhh...I'll check with the grump and see if he'd like to do some Rusty!
