    This is amazing!!!
    It looks so congruous. I don't think you painted the background, but it looks like you painted it. If it is a collage, how did you get the brush marks.

    I am both inspired and intimidated.

    Thanks Dee Dee, I'm happy to inspire, and will help to demystify so as not to intimidate!!
    The tricks to making the images smoothly integrate is to tear them all out rather than cut. (This 'trick' I learned in a workshop with Nick Bantock a few years ago.) The edges are softened then, making it harder for the eye to see where things begin and end - the way you do with cut, hard edges. The brush strokes on the surface are acrylic varnish that I coated the pages with when I finished, to seal up all the edges. After that, just around the edges of the pages where you see the reddish tint - I used a couple different colored water soluble oil pastels rubbed in as a stain, to give a little dimension and to fill in a couple of spots where some page still showed.
    It's a fun process!
