Gifted For Service

Gifted for Service
5x7

Bands of unusual text lend a mysterious element to this little collage. The background was cut from a watercolor experiment... that's the green and reddish brown at top right and along the bottom. The numbers are cut from a Bingo card and the lower row of text was some unrelated documents printed like a double-exposure photograph, a favorite thing to do on top of a too-light photograph.  Just run the photo back through the printer 2 or 3 times, allowing the ink to dry in between print runs.

  3. Bren, I didn't even know it was Hebrew text! I just liked the paper; now I like it more.
    Sondra, I'm glad you found me through my comment on Alisa's blog. I've found a lot of interesting blogs that way, too. Just click on the name! I've been thinking about Alisa's tutorial all morning. Gotta find some letters.
