The "Emotional" Challenges continue at Mixed Media Place. This month it is "Tenderness".
Many descriptive words come to mind when defining what "tenderness" is. It is a way we respond to someone or something that is delicate or fragile, that is soft, hurt or easily damaged. Our world is a fragile place....land, oceans, vegetation, air, animals and people are continuously being destroyed, some at an alarming rate. My page is reflective of the damage we are doing to our world.
I have used an image transfer technique and high lighted these with stamping, embossing, texture paste and paint.
We would love for you to play along with our emotional challenges. The details are HERE.
Finnabair's Cold Country paper "Secret Diary" made for the perfect background for these pages.
I have used the Image Transfer technique with photos I've taken in Melbourne alley ways and applied different mediums over the top.
My work is going to be published in a book !
