mixed media monday - this is the world between our eyes

Red is a foreign colour - I seem to barely use it at all. Still, I can't claim this to be a colourful piece (this one really was!), but it's an unusual piece in any case. In addition to the rareness of the reds, this collage came together in a suspiciously easy manner, with every element falling into place without the usual dance of rearranging everything a hundred times before committing to one layout.

I wish more people looked at each other the way this young woman looks at her photographer.

I had my hopes set on creating something really tiny this week, but I ended up making something the size of two matchboxes, which isn't all that tiny to me. But I can't always control how things turn out, and these materials were screaming my name. This piece fits my palm at 7,9x5,7x1cm / 3.1"x2.2"x0.4". It stays upright standing on its own, but there's a plaited linen hanger on the back as well.
