For our second PS challenge, we chose "doorway" as the image to work with. I love the multiple doorways of this old ruin. An old photo of my daughter from camp added to the sense of multiplicities. I threw in an altered quote of T.S. Eliot.
Kate, this is so wonderful - the way you integrated Adele into the doorways, the barely colored stone surfaces, the "altered" quote. I love it and wish you would quit saying that since it's just a learning experience you'll finish it and go with it. It's lovely!!
I love what you did with the colors here as they add a surreal layer on top of the already mysterious theme. Borges meets the Magus meets Adele. Haunting.
Over the last dozen years I have been discovering my creative side. In addition to describing myself as a mom, wife, librarian, feminist, humanitarian, and environmentalist; in my bolder moments I also whisper artist. My work has evolved from simple rubber stamping to mixed media with paper and fabric. I love learning (and making up) new techniques for making cards, ATC's, altered books and more. Since I have a very practical, down-to-earth side, I find it hard to make things that have no use whatsoever. Fortunately, "giving a gift" satisfies that need so I find that I pour much of my creativity into gifts for others. Sometimes I make things for myself (if I can justify it...)
