FREE for ALL: "Portrait of Young Girl with Flowers"


 I carefully snipped the "Young Girl" out of the original painting by

Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929)

and created a new setting for the lass.

ROOM SETTING: For Ernest

My good friend is having a birthday this week. He is an artist who loves fine art (particularly Picasso) and collects silhouettes. I thought this was a perfect room setting for Ernest!

Room Setting.

 Really struggled with this theme for some reason, but it is good to be challenged.

Sorting your room out in space would always be difficult.

Anyhow here is it….

THEME: Create a "room setting"

I usually use existing backgrounds when creating a collage. But the idea came into my head that I should start to create my own version of a room from my stash of pre-cut images and books on hand. I've had fun making some during my Covid quarantine (which is thankfully over at this point).

To illustrate what I mean, I created one room by using a portion of an image of an Oriental carpet, some "scrapbooking paper" as wall paper and then I created a baseboard. To this image I added an image of a Victorian tri-fold screen and stuck in a couple of other things. I am posting it herewith so you get the picture!

Have fun!!

THEME: MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU

 Collage must include that glowing nighttime orb.

Fun Fact:

The word moon can be traced to the word mōna, an Old English word from medieval times. Mōna shares its origins with the Latin words metri, which means to measure, and mensis, which means month. So, we see that the moon is called the moon because it is used to measure the months.

"E"

I thought this could be fun and very broad. And the letter "E" popped into my head. So, your collage should involve something or one thing or many things that begin with the letter "E". Be it a mood, a place, an activity, a thing...
