Angel wings
There are a lot of layers to this piece so far. I did a rubbing of angel wings in my journal and really liked the way they turned out. So I made a color copy of them. After that I adhered them to the background. The background is paste paper I created. I experimented with some fine mulberry as the base for the paste paper. When decorating the paper I used foil underneath the mulberry paper and the paste/paint adhered them together. I wasn't expecting that but do like it. The wings with the paste paper was a bit to monotone and I wanted them to pop more. I realize that I tend to work in cool colors and need to add warm colors to make things pop. I added embossing powder and dimensional paint. I am really starting to like the way it is developing. Now to add some stitch!
Looking so cool!
