Layers Upon Layers: Mixed Media Art

Ghost in the Wall

by Cyndi on September 29th, 2008

Make Art Monday

Since we’re coming up on the Halloween season, I’ve been thinking about spooky stuff a little bit. Last week, Diane challenged me to show her how I would use my texture photos in a real piece. OK, Diane, I’m in!

This is going to be a several step project, and the first part is digital. In a week or so, I’ll be able to share the finished physical project and all of the steps, but first things first. I decided to use images from the bunch that I shared last week:

So, tomorrow for Technique Tuesday, the digital steps. The following week (I hope!), the physical steps to a fabric collage.

    Wow, you took two images that weren’t (IMO) at all spooky and somehow combined in this way they are. Too cool. Can’t wait to see the next steps.

    I was a little surprised by how ghostly the image started to look as I played around with it, Christy :-)

    Looking good so far. It does have a look that could develop quite spookily yet that wire work and head would look totally different on a rose arbored background wouldn’t it?

    You bet! It was totally my “fault” that it turned out sort of eery. :-)
