I was hoping to have this card finished last month but I just wasn’t happy with it. It’s been sitting around my studio for a few months. I loved the image of the woman which is from a cover of a vintage magazine, but I just couldn’t figure out where to go with the card. I almost tossed it. Anyway I’m finally happy with the results. It is not unusual for me to work on a piece over a long period. I usually have about 10 pieces going at the same time. I like to take the time to make sure that I’ve done the best I can with each piece (basically futzing and puttering until I’m happy).
For this card, I started with a fabric background but by the time I finished very little of the fabric is exposed. I’ve used German scrap around the edges and base. Her wings are made of vellum.

We are so thankful that you didn't throw this away! Tell me about the German scrap? Where did you buy this?
So very pretty, as always. I like it when you describe a bit of your process, and use of materials. I also am a "futzer".
Gorgeous art!
