SEEK YOUR FORTUNES

This time it's an 8 X 8 board canvas piece. I used two vintage photos, one of a child in a fairy costume, and one of a woman in a cape to get myself a gypsy woman with wings. I layered tissue paper over scrapbook paper, using magazine clippings and onion skin bits here and there. I also layered in crumpled waxed paper. I used mica water colors along the way. Sprinkled in some vintage postage stamps, a piece of sealing wax and a star. I cut the text from an old poster that is a replica of the poster that announced the opening of the Union Pacific Platte Valley Railroad Route. What? No glitter on this one? I don't know, I just don't think this one needs it.
