This early stained tissue collage experiment had a feeling of flight, I kept almost seeing wings and loved the colors/texture so put it up in my studio, hoping to eventually see something in it.
Then last week I looked up and saw definite wings and a strange fan shaped tail. And suddenly saw it - a Phoenix! The mythological creature who showed up in the magical stories my grandson and I used to create together. It just needed a head! So I added it. What fun!Stained tissue collage with pastels, 22x30".
