French Stockings Digital Collage

I've been spending vast quantities of time working on digital collage lately. In fact, I've been consumed. These french stockings digital collages, ooh la la, do I love them! It's ever so satisfying to take bits of old clip art and ephemera and watch them take shape into something new.

I've noticed that the more of these I make, the better each one gets. The only problem is now I want to go back and re-create the older collages. I won't though. Having a visual trail of my own evolution helps me appreciate how far I've come.

Note: These come in two other creamy color combinations of pink and sepia tones. Listing includes 4 different stocking designs in eight colors.

Cottage Chic Starbucks?

Who knew an empty Starbucks bottle could look so good as cottage chic decor? The tinting trial and error process has actually helped give this blue bottle a more weathered look so my persistence and even my mistakes have worked in my favor!

Well, I can tell you it's born from the "if you can't be em, join em" concept. Divine guidance seems to be leading me in this direction and it feels positively euphoric so I must be on the right track. More later.
