The challenge this week on Gothic Arches is to use a patch work technique by kelly Rea Roberts.
I have just read kelly Rea Roberts book Taking flight and the technique is in there i hope i have got it right. yes i know i have used my fav image again LOL im so drawn to her.
you basically collage patterned paper patch work style onto the background of your work paint over the top and remove areas to reveal the pattern underneath. you can also add images and do the same to them as in the bird at the bottom.

So very pretty! Love that image, too. I have an old Dover book called "WOMEN A Pictorial Archive From Nineteenth-Century Sources" chock-full of these beautiful images of women.
Lovely Crissi - love that little bird at the bottom.
