Dove

love this, such a wonderful piece of art!

Really, really love this--a perfectly beautiful piece of art!

Thanks to both of you. I am working on this technique, maybe doing a series.

i love the block look to it, a little bit of muted cubism.

Oh, this is just lovely! Great work.

This is so cool!!

Very Cool! How does one achieve this look?

T Time,
I used scrapbooking paper cut into small tiles, applied with gel medium as a cover and as the glue. I outlined the dove with charcoal and then over-washed it with a light coat of gesso (very light) which I wiped off with a tissue. I emphasized various lines in the background with charcoal and white pastel marker. Sprayed the whole thing with varnish.
That is pretty much the process which I think I got in a slightly different fashion from Cloth.Paper.Scissorsmagazine, p. 72, November

Wonderful!
