I felt like the poplar leaf in Eve was popping out too much, and that it either needed to be toned down or to be balanced in the opposite corner. So I played around with adding gesso, then oil pastel, which helped. Since this is a creation myth, I though some sand paper would be appropriate. And then I remembered the little gears I recently got from Ms. Lea, and applied them with some tarnished brass brads.
The lower image uses a graphic from a biology book, the back page from an Anthropologie catalog, and a magazine clipping. Like most of the glue book type collages I\’ve done, it was a stream of consciousness exercise. This one turned out pretty well, I think.
