AHA! The book was filled with trashy romance novel cover vixens!
Marie explained that we were to create pages of gardens - incorporating these lusty wenches into a theme of our choosing.
I started by gesso-ing the artwork around the females to have a blank slate to work with - like this. I think she might look good in a tiki garden or something with a Cuban flare.
The first page of March had no wench to work with so i set upon creating a garden of eden or something - someplace for this marble statue couple to enjoy nature. Au naturelle.
I did the whole spread with a few pages of prepainted deli paper from my stash. I was inspired by the latest Anthropologie catalogue, which used paper cuts to highlight their accessories. You have to check them out, the collection is called Carried Away - so pretty.
You can read about my deli paper HERE and HERE. Did i mention it glues beautifully? It does! I like using it in altered books, rather than painting directly on the pages.
Please check back to see what gardens i create for the two lonely ladies above!
