The piece above is Voices in the Forest, a digital collage on rust-dyed fabric. The backing is also rust-dyed fabric and includes the quotation: "How quiet the forest would be if only he with the best voice sang!"
These digital collages, such as Secrets of the Butterfly Fairy, above, combine vintage artwork and photographs I have taken.
There are 12 pieces in the series. They all, including Naptime Escape (above) have cold-forged copper "frames" that have been flashed with a propane torch (takes longer than it sounds) and sealed with Earth Safe Finishes Sealer to prevent color change.
You can see the stencil layer in most of the photos, including Mushroom Girl (above)


Guarding the Gerberas is on heavily rusted fabric. It was one of the original two compositions that led to this series. I learned a lot about printing on rust-dyed fabric!
The background fabric for Flight Lessons (above) was rusted with springs from the seat of an old chair.
