Pink Artist Drawing 2009

This post is about two things. First, helping support a beautiful project started by Monica of Girl Gone Thread Wild. And, second, about me trying to get a bit more involved in something other than myself. I recently visited Michelle's 3rd Eye Muse blog and was so amazed at all of the places she has donated her work and efforts to. (scroll down the left side of her blog and you will start to see group project one after another) I know a lot of my blog friends donate their work and time and effort and money, but while looking at her blog it really struck me that I should give back a bit more than I take. Something just hit me. So, this is a very small start in trying to get more involved and this particular piece is for Monica's Pink Artists Drawing.

This is a 5 x 7 collage using a face from flickr's Suzee Que, a body from suppliestogo.etsy.com, feet from moonfaires.etsy.com, wings from greatmusings.com, flowers from keeperofthenest.etsy.com, and a small butterfly from Dover clipart. All of these pieces were reprinted, hand trimmed and hand colored with ink and pastels. The words were created by me and all was attached to a background made from a texture from flickr's JoesSistah.
