glimpse /ɡlim(p)s/ - (noun) a momentary or partial view
I'm drawn to vintage portraits with unusual or intense expressions. This image is a good example of what I mean and it's what prompted me to use it.
After some fussy-cutting and sanding, it was pasted to a tag covered with an old German bible page partially tinted with gesso, inks and colored pencils.
The flowers were cut from scrapbook papers and the text is a Clippings Sticker (Tim Holtz). I use these stickers a lot, their curation is very good and always seem to prompt a creative angle/story I might not have considered.
I stamped the symbol in the sky with grey archival ink and enhanced the values with a black fine-line pen.
I'm linking to the "Flower Frenzy" challenge on Simon's Monday blog.
As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.
Until next time, take care.
