Paper Poppy
8x8
collage on acid free paper
The name of this collage, 'Paper Poppy' (shown here in a close-up photo along with another shot showing how the collage sits on the page) seems fitting since poppy petals often resemble crinkled crepe paper. This piece was created from a photo I snapped a few summers ago of a gorgeous peachy pink toned bloom with royal blue pollen hugging an olive green center. Nestled beside fuzzy green foliage this poppy plant needed to be staked in a wire garden hoop in order to support the profusion of blooms swaying in a gentle summer breeze.
I like the soft, feminine feel of this collage.

Yes, all this came from my magic shoe box...
