Together we conquer! What though, my dear?
I love it... I like the dimensionality of the overlapping waves.

This is great, very clever and has a sense of delicacy to it. I want to see MORE COLLAGE!

Love the overlapping, and under...colors, background elements, all make an outstanding setting for the "sisters".

Yes, "not waving but drowning". Such a classic line.

Your work is always classy and eloquently presented. Beautiful.

I cut out various waves and glued them to bristol board, and then overlapped them, mounted using sticky foam squares. It does make the page a little bulky, but - hey - altered books are bulky things! (Before I start altering, I remove at least a third of the pages in the book, so that I have room to chunk up the pages without putting too much stress on the spine.
