Monochrome Collage - North American Indian Style
Well at last I have finished my collage.Well actually I slipped with the craft knife and now I have 2 collages!
I chose this colour as the stone Turquoise is used a lot in North American Indian jewellery.
It is hard to see but the background is coloured with inks and stamped. The background is also brushed with Pearl Ex powders hence the shine.
Different papers were pasted over the background and then stamped with pictures of cave art.
I actually (health issues aside) found this a real challenge. I love this colour but the temptation to add pink and purple was very hard to fight.

Oh I adore this! So glad you managed to resist adding those extra colours as I think the turquoise works really well. I find it hard to stick to one colour/shade too, so know what you mean, lol.
This is just beautiful Alis..I too am pleased you resisted the urge to add more colour..this works so well .
Great color. I like the figure. Your style is great fun.
This collage is beautiful:)
This is truly wonderful work. I am glad you didn't add pink, it would have ruined it. xoxo nita
I love the color in that collage. Totally gorgeous. Your other works are beautiful too.
