Collage on canvas - butterfly

Struggled with this for a while until I felt it was somewhere near right!

It is about 16in x 12in. The background is a very thick handmade paper with some foliage & petals trapped in the layers. I have done a print with a fern & fabric paint, used embroidery thread, faux jewels & pearl paint to make the 'lavender' style stems with paints, inks, stamps, buttons & ribbon etc for the rest. The butterfly was a print- enlarged, coloured with Twinkling H2os, then glazed & distressed.

Abstract painting on canvas

Another whim! Not meant to mean anything profound, just whatever you see in it. It is painted with watercolour paint mixed with glitter glue and highlghts are done with metallic paint. 5in x 7in.
