Melange Team Image Transfer Challenge - A Young Scottish Lad In America 1865

This is the collage I created using a direct paper to paper and paper to fabric transfer using Golden Gel . I Really like doing these transfers because they are quick , pretty easy and require no printers or copies !!! The image above is done this way . The last photo here shows a small image ( there are few others on the piece ... musical notes ) done with silk from an old handkerchief

Getting Ready For Halloween ~ Altered Photographs

I have been fascinated with old photographs especially Victorian era ones FOREVER ! I loved looking at them as a child and still seek them out when I am out at antique shops and flea markets . The ones I choose to alter are ones that speak to me and of course ones that are not valuable ! I hope that in 100 years someone finds a photo of me and adds a fun new setting for me !
These are some new ones I have been working on for Halloween . I have them listed at ETSY . Paint , sheet music , old papers and a little imagination and voila !
