Collage on board. Previously unposted.

Collage and colored pencil on board. Original size about 10 3/4" x 8 before framing. Made in 2004, but not originally posted until 11/7/06. I'll probably re-visit this theme at some point. (I really do miss making larger compositions.)

But some days you just want to break all the rules you made yesterday. :D Original size: 750 X 916 pixels. One of the original sources is viewable here .

Mixes three different layers of "Distort: Spherize," using the Difference Mode. Then adds some "Blur: Radial Blur." Additions and touch-ups with Transform, Eraser and Clone Stamp.
