New collage!

I feel a little like a broken record at this point - "busy art week, made a new collage..." [Repeat] Haha - true! While that does just about cover it, I'll try to add a few more details (as non-boringly as possible :)).
The pieces are similar in a lot of ways - scale, technique, media, but this week's was a little more challenging because I needed to research/ draw/ carve additional blocks, and there's significantly more drawing in drapery of the shirt and a more complex collage elements with the flowers. No complaints (it's what we do ;) ), but it was a "mission" getting it ready to photograph today (gold star!)
First, new blocks:
 |
| printed of pretty purple marbelized paper |
 |
| I used the rest of the block left over after cutting out the eyes from last week |
 |
| I wanted Columbine because of the character's name. |
 |
| Not only did I find "Columbine" in my much loved Dover edition of Gerard's Herbal, but "Degenerate" Columbine. I find this very funny: Pierrot's gift is almost, but not quite right - he offers her "Degenerate Columbine" (and will inevitably be rejected). |
 |
| I also carved a new hand. (The one in the process photos from last week was a stand in, a digitally reversed and printed version of an existing print). This week I drew , carved, and printed the block. |
 |
| Then I sprayed over it, and drew on top of that. |
 |
| Then added another layer of yellow paint. I used a similar layering and painting technique for the plant and also filled in the blue in the negative spaces |
 |
| a "judicious use of glitter" in the back of the fly. |
