Today I'd like to show you my second piece that was done in the afternoon ( 4hours). It was a page showing all the different techniques that we learned, with Anna as our tutor ,we could not go wrong. I chose a photograph of my dear mother when she was a young woman and had just left her island home in Islay to come to the mainland and work in service as they did in those days. I'm sure she would love what I've done and hopefully I did her justice too. She loved her pearls and really was rarely seen without them, so that is why I chose them to enhance my mixed media page. I know I will be doing more of this work in the future as I enjoyed it so much. Very Inky and Very messy to say the least, but we had eaten a lovely lunch provided by Anni and Yvonne at the Damselfy and Queen Bee where the workshop took place. We all hope that Anna will return as everyone wanted to learn more. Off to finish a wedding order.
