Do you dream in black & white, or let your coloured wings take flight?
A dream theme from the Three Muses - this could have kept me busy for a week and indeed it was a bit of a late one last night as I snipped and dipped. This mixed media piece contains... wait for it... acrylics, collage, stamping, inks, tissue, old book, a scrap of black lace... with the final edition a little omni spotlight from photoshop to really highlight the butterfly.
I am very tempted to write a long post about my weird and wonderful dreams but won't for several reasons. 1) It can be rather boring listening to other people's night time adventures; 2) You might think I'm insane; 3) I must get back to my novel!

this must be one of your most stunning collage ever!! it's mysterious, edgy, filled with character and the combination of black, whites and grays, pictorial and worded illustrations are in perfect synchrony. but most of all, that single highlighted colored butterfly is a stroke of genius. it is exactly how dreams are, absolutely surreal, other worldly and beautiful!!
ReplyDeletei dream in color :)
Excellent - really dynamic - the photos add real depth - love it.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a T shirt that says "I speak in black & white but I dream in colour". :)

ReplyDeleteHello hello :) So glad to "meet you!" I am loving your artwork! I keep lamenting that I really really need to get back on the weekly challenge train and I will one of these days. I haven't played with PS yet in creations, but you're inspiring me to want to try!

ReplyDeleteabsolutely fantastic again!! love the contrast of the b/w background (love how you added the writing) and the highlighted butterfly. it really pops out!
ReplyDeletewhen i had heard (many years ago) this question for the first time, i was absolutely wondering... there are people who only dream in b/w? can´t believe that...
