I had so much fun creating this mixed media piece, mostly because I have never tried doing anything like this before. I usually carefully choose my images before I start to make sure I am happy they will fit together but for this I chose 3 random pictures out of my collection of images (mostly
collected from The Graphics Fairy.

I just
love the free images she shares each day.

Mixed Media collage & Image Transfer with metal embelishment, Impasto Gel 
  antiqued with shoe polish.
Sorry I'm not much of a photographer and this does not do it justice.

These are the images I started with. I added other bits & pieces as well but making the 3 images work together was the main challenge

Absolutely unbelievable, When you have a passion, the desire to succeed and the willingness to share, it seems you can achieve just about anything you put your mind to.
Verdigris Creative Studio here in Stratford is growing it's own little community. Everyone seems to be excited with this unique concept and all sorts of lost and untapped creativity is being stirred. Those who have never had the opportunity to create are discovering their creative spirit and others who are confirmed artists are finding new excitement and inspiration. And for me, well everyday I get imense satisfaction from the enthusiasm and enjoyment I see in those who enter into my world at Verdigris.
