Wetlands - WIP 6

Finally I have finished the heron! I've also done the red-winged blackbird and have started on the cattails. The turtle and frog will be difficult, I think, because of the tiny details. This can be very frustrating, as I learned with the blackbird's eye. I had the tiny circle all cut out to the right size, only to have it fall off the tip of my finger and disappear! This only happened three times before I got it to stick! Anyway, I am going to try and work like a fiend today and get it done. (or at least very close!). I want to get it submitted to the contest, plus I need to get started on a Christmas watercolour commission.

    This is beautiful already, Patty. What do you use for your collage material? Do you paint the pieces yourself, use decorative papers, combination...what? May I ask?

    Billie, the answer is yes to all the above! In this piece I've used hand painted papers, paper from old books, magazines, wrapping paper, and even a small piece of a dryer sheet!

    Michelle, thanks for the continuing support!
