Collage Obsession: Mushrooms

Eila at Collage Obsession has challenged us to do a mushroom-themed collage.

Sunday Postcard Art: Comic Book Heroes/Heroines

Sunday Postcard Art has quite an original, fun theme this week: Comic Book Heroes/Heroines.

Collage Obsession and Three Muses Challenges

The theme for Collage Obsession this week is "circus/carnival/amusement park." The Three Muses Challenge asks us this week to create a piece using only black and white and one other color. I've combined both concepts into this digital collage of a Ferris wheel, using an image provided by Anna Corba that I altered considerably.
