New old series
Ready for another series? This one will be shorter - a kind of visual tutorial on using one image to create many pieces. I have become enthralled with that sort of approach recently, and expect to continue my explorations of this facet of personal icongraphy.
So with no further yakety-yak, let's get to it.
These two little girls are a small detail in a much larger vintage photograph for which I purchased the rights to use from the National Archives. Some time ago I made about two dozen atcs which featured them, and though this time I'm not going to post each one, I will show you several I feel were especially successful as miniature masterpieces. I call them my Grunge Girls.Here you see them sepia toned, film grain filtered and printed on to a transparency layered over several "labels", including one torn from an envelope addressed to me. Note the ace of hearts in the upper left hand corner. Doesn't it look just a little bit like the girl on the left is dragging along that section of printed paper as if it were a banner? Or maybe it's a shawl. . .
