It’s been a while since I’ve posted another of my Metal Deck series. Note the different effects achieved using the Modern Options Rust product. This one ended up just rusty with no other colors like others I created at the same time.
I like the golden threads with the word “tears” tucked inside the bottle. Fun idea having a ‘message in a bottle’.
the back is collaged papers (some of my fusion paper towel), butterfly sticker, gesso and goauche. The ribbons are some of my hand dyed ones I have used before.
“The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.” ~Emily Dickinson (American Poet who has been called the New England mystic, 1830-1886)
