Buzzzzzzzz

 The bee has just lifted off the blossom after doing his pollination work. I was originally drawn to work with this photo because of the bee and the bright blue sky behind him. After running a number of filters on the photo in Prism, I chose three to print out and cut into quarter-inch strips. I layered those up on the wood panel and then added in vintage postage stamps and paper with script from my great uncle's ledger.

I've put a circle around all the pieces of stamps and ledger paper in case you couldn't find them all:

Daisy Days of Summer

I seem to be on a flower kick! This scene of dewy daisies at sunrise got really interesting after running filters on the photo. I picked three versions to cut into quarter-inch strips and combined those with handmade green and yellow papers, text from a French book, and shredded U.S. currency.
