Ballet Collage

,


Hello everyone,
I thought I would post my tile that I made on composite board. It is 1" or 2.5cm thick and 8" square or 20cm  square.  I gessoed with black gesso, applied a music scrap, die cut the musical staff. Ballerina is from Dezinaworld.  We had to use a quote and a heart on the composition. I textured and highlighted the textures with lumiere. Ballet slippers were pink (not my thing) so I spritzed them with coffed shop Tattered Angels/ Surprise ! It worked. I die cut the letters for the quote.
My art group was asked to make tiles to give graduate students ideas for their arts scholarship drive (music, theatre, dance etc). They will be also making some so auction off for funds.
Just wanted to let you know I have been creating, just not posting of late. I didn't think you wanted to see my
crocheted christmas presents.
Love, Chris
