Lesson two in Jane Davies' Text and Image class

As instructed in lesson two, I have prepared some transparency images to attach to a collage.  I printed some of my photos onto matte photo paper, covered them with several coats of gel medium and then soaked the paper off.  I've then affixed two of the resulting transparencies to a previously prepared collage.  It's a neat technique.  The first image is the collage sans image, and the second has the images affixed.  Next time I would take off the borders around the pictures...I think they would sit better on the page.   Also, it's a bit tricky to get off all the paper from the photo paper and I can see that I have left some wee little bits...and yes, they have come back to haunt me!!  I wasn't quite so fastidious with the borders and clearly, I should have been!!

Jane Davies class on Text and Image

Once again I am taking, and very much enjoying, a new class with Jane Davies.  These are two examples from the first lesson where we were to create a background and incorporate an image and text (hence the class name, don't you think!!!).  We were to have text and an image that were somewhat incongruous..which explains the shoes-aliens piece.  It was fun to try out possible texts with the various pictures.....there were some hilarious examples from the class...very clever. It's quite a fun process! Anyway, these are my first two examples.

Next we are working with gel image transfer pieces.  I'm still working!!  More later... 
Jane is offering some great classes in the new year.  Check it out.

another take

So here is the second possible background up for consideration for the exhibition (omigosh, in less than two weeks).  It is actually a somewhat deeper yellow in 'real' life.  I rather think I favour this version.  But I'm still not totally sure.  I'll ponder a bit and then decide.  Life is a series of choices, is it not?
I've signed up for Jane Davies' course next month using text in collage.  Should be good.  Check out her site.  janedaviesstudios.com

a total experiment! can I do this.

now, can I add some text!! this is my sample number two from a workshop I am taking with jane davies (see janedaviesstudios.com.  And I'm just experimenting to see if my old brain can figure out how to do posts.  I'll stop here and see if this works!!
