Sunday Postcard Art: Gibson Girls

I hadn't realized until I was looking for images for this theme on the Library of Congress website that in 1902 a design for Gibson Girl wallpaper designed by Mr. Gibson was published in Life. The caption underneath the image was: "Suitable for a bachelor apartment." This design forms the background for my digital collage, shown below. The central image is from The Graphics Fairy. 

Three Muses: Gone With the Wind

We were asked by the Three Muses this week to create art using a "gone with the wind" theme. We were free to interpret it any way we wished. Here's mine:

Collage Obsession: Leonard Cohen quote

Collage Obsession has invited us to create art to illustrate the song lyrics:
“There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in."

This happens to be one of my favorite quotes. For my digital collage, I used my own photo of the morning sun peeking through clouds near Yellowstone National Park, and a Gelli print background I created for an online class. I combined the two images using PSE 10 blending modes, effects, and filters.
