Ripped Paper Dress

I've been reading a review copy of a mixed-media journal book and I was inspired to make this little canvas. I didn't really copy any of the projects in the book , just used some ideas and picked things like collaging with torn paper, using book pages etc.

I used a Penny Black stamp , acrylic paint, a Tim Holtz stencil and Distress Ink re-inker (on the hair).

The book is The Painted Journal by Jeanne Oliver. I posted a review of it here.

    Your canvas is beautiful - fab girl - lovely details.
    I have a weakness for art/craft books - so I hope you have not tempted me again :)
    Thanks for sharing what inspired you and joining in at AJJ.
    Have a lovely weekend.

    Wonderful image! You have been very inspired by your book, great result. I like how the background texture and the texture of the dress fit together.
    Dear Greetings

    You draw beautifully. I love her soulful face and the way her hair hangs down around it. But of course, the background is amazing, and the way you placed the focal image on a book page was incredible. I was actually mesmerized when I first saw it. We are truly grateful that you shared this with us at Art Journal Journey. I personally hope to see more of your art in the near future, Marina.

    That is so cool, Marina. Reminds me of a collage of ripped paper I did once with a photo of our pooch. That was fun. You've gotten a fabulous effect on her dress. I love that.

    I'm totally in awe, Marina--amazing piece of art!
    I enjoyed your comment on the card for my uncle. I really didn't think we had a relationship--nothing bad, just didn't ever see each other. So having him send me the credit card was a total surprise. I've only seen him once since college, but we exchange Christmas cards & I've never forgotten what he did for me. The interesting thing is, too--his first wife was my mom's little sister, so that's why he's my uncle. But my aunt was tragically killed by a drunk driver when I was in high school. Yet he reached out to me & I have life long memories because of it. I do regret not making more effort to see my nieces & nephews when they were growing up. I will always be there for them, but they may not realize it. Hard being physically far apart from family.

    An attention-grabbing dialogue is price comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this topic, it won't be a taboo topic but typically persons are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers online casino bonus
