Working on two collages in April's class.  I'm going to miss another class so I decided to try to finish one.   I wanted a transfer or something to have a center of interest.  The first photo is just the layout.  In the end I darkened the bottom as it looked too busy.  The gestural writing is from a workshop and I copied it on sheer paper.

 This is another background I'm trying to tie together to finish it off. The handmade paper will fade into the background so I'm not sure if it will do what I want- but I might put it down on the brown painted paper I found (see right side).
