The Three Muses - Newspaper


Here's my 'Urban Goddess' 5x5 collage, image from suzeeque at flickr.

I've been using newspaper quite a lot recently and here are 2 ATCs I made using newspaper for the frame.


'Faith' was made with an egg from paperscraps at flickr, mushrom, bird and heart from Lisas altered art, wings, hat and background painted and stamped by me, face from one of suzeeque at flickr's images. All the images were coloured by me.


'Friend' was made with mushrom and heart from lisas altered art, bird from san design at etsy and fruity image made by me with altered images from:
Lisas altered art.com, Itkupilli etsy, Donna etsy. All the images were coloured by me.

  2. I love them all. I have always liked to see the addition of newsprint to an art piece, which is, of course, why I chose this challenge. I am going to have such fun seeing how creative the artists who visit our blog can be! Good work! Thank you for participating.

  8. I hope this is "third time lucky" because I have been having problems leaving a comment on your blog. This happens to me from time to time when my computer takes a dislike to someone's blog.
    Linda, your newspaper theme picture is superb. I love the vintage colours and the wonderful and creative design. I also love your beautiful, colorful artwork set against the newspaper backgrounds.
    Wonderful artwork.
