Cemetery Angels 8x8 for Tanya

At Altered Art Swaps this month, I was to create an 8x8 tip-in spread for Tanya whose theme is "Cemetery Angels"; nothing morbid or sad...it was to be uplifting and spiritual. I hope I accomplished this for her. I love this photo of the "black angel" that I took in a cemetery in Council Bluffs, IA and had fun dititally altering her. She looks so comforting to me. The collages are 100% paper but I stitched them all together and added some dimensional elements.

8x8 tip-in Pages for Sandee

Here are the 8x8 tip-in pages I made for my friend Sandee...Her theme was "your favorite poem" which really stumped me because I have a difficult time choosing my FAVORITE of anything. LOL All I knew was that I wanted to do something with faeries so I started creating art and found the poem afterwards. I got to try out some stitches on my new sewing machine and it was fun to stitch/embroidery on paper. The right-hand page consists of 3 layers of transparencies over French text...how fun! Hope you like it!
