Sometime simple is the best way to tell a story and, let's face it, all art tells a story. I just finished a big painting and had just enough time to do a small piece before I took off on vacation. SUPPLIES Creative Paperclay® Waterslide Decal Rust Metal Object Wings Fake Flower Hand cut paper I started by collaging old book pages with aged edges on my panel. Then I cast a man with Creative Paperclay®, letting it dry on the panel. Next, I gather collage elements and added the waterslide decal wings to the piece. I wanted this piece to be about balance so the rusty metal ring was added. After adding more collage details, I finished off the sides with a diamond pattern. This way it doesn't need to be framed. I love doing these small simple pieces as it keeps me flexible and I never where it will lead me on my large pieces of art. Dream in Color! Darlene Olivia McElroy darleneoliviamcelroy.com
