Day 1348: Some of this, a little of that ...

"revolution", collages & digital

A quick step by step ...

sometimes I play a long time before 

I like it well enough to stop.

Today was a fairly quick one.

I used a photo torn out of a magazine ...

picked for the dynamic colors!

Then selected one of my unfinished collages ...

picked for the text and map detail.

I blended both digitally, and it was interesting.

But, I felt it needed some white.

I wanted the look of a brush stroke, 

so I made a brushstroke on top of the text,

selected just the stroke & inverted, 
deleted the background, 

then copied it & added it onto a new layer.

I wasn't sure it would work, but it did.

I like it, do you?
