This is for two challenges. TLC421 asks us to use a map. I printed a map of Seattle and then painted a thin layer of Gesso over it. I cut the butterflies and then used Poppy Parade ink direct to paper.
After seeing this mysterious Gesso stuff being used and people having so much fun with it (beginning a couple years ago with Dear Peggy aka MarilynPrestonn, and now by a whole host of people), I bought some. I was just so curious how Peggy used it for things like snow and how other people used it kinda like paint. This is my very first attempt, without directions, to use it. Who knows, maybe I will get as good at is as I am with run-on sentences!
My colors and style were chosen for CAS212 which was a picture of a red, white and black cake with poppies. I do not have poppies.
I thought the map-butterflies in flight symbolized travel and thus, my sentiment.
