another take...

...on the unscripted sketch, also from my journal; also using scraps of photos, illustrations, and foreign text. i think i really like this one:


here's the sketch again, obviously, i really like *IT* too!


i've been playing with the idea of a collaged or fractured landscape for a couple of months. here's a version i did ages ago, which is much more fluid-- and for some reason very wrinkly; it must date from the spring, when i was trying various brands of gluestick, many of which were completely and utterly useless*:


i have no idea why i find this concept so very interesting, but i do, so i suspect you'll be seeing more of these in future. consider yourself warned, darlings! :)

*if i had more time, i could easily produce a very long rant about this, but fortunately for the blog-reading public, i'm late already. however i do find it, as lady catherine de bourgh** so famously never said in this context, "MOST vexing!"!!! :)

**the eagle-eyed jan and jessi were quite right when they pointed out that my lady catherine link (directly above) mistakenly went to this silhouette cameo giveaway; on the other hand, said sweepstakes is open until nov 28th and heck, you might win; whereas lady cdb, for all her charms, is unlikely to be much help in terms of handcut titles! :) :) :)

    Fyi....your Catherine de Bourgh link goes to a Silhouette giveaway contest....I tried to find the symbolism, but just couldn't.
