Now it can all be done using a mouse and PhotoShop. How the world has changed.<br /><br />But you have really brought back the intimacy of the old, with your many layers that all work so well together. I'm super impressed with this piece. I love anything old, and this screams vintage to me, especially with the rusty nail and green stamps. Awesome job.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755496103593755478.post-54093643873375826602013-07-11T08:54:45.012-04:002013-07-11T08:54:45.012-04:00I agree with everything Seth had to say, I use my ...I agree with everything Seth had to say, I use my own photos it just adds legitimacy to our work... love the layers and the word versus the image, well done!Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755496103593755478.post-71746121237042494492013-07-11T07:32:05.287-04:002013-07-11T07:32:05.287-04:00This is a very interesting piece esp. all the laye...This is a very interesting piece esp. all the layers & texture that play well with the others. It looks like you put a lot of thought into it being sure that it all worked together as one.

When I...So funny that SETH is your first commenter. When I first saw your work pop up on my blog list I thought of Seth. But I'd just been to his site and that wasn't there. Then I saw your name! Oh someone who does work like Seth. Or perhaps Seth does work like your! LOL Anyway, there certainly is a resemblance! Love the FARM story and part of the photo; the rusted nail and bottle caps, things you'd find on the ground around the farm house. The green stamps remind me of a time when farmers might have needed them to get by, so this says volumes; and the lace torn from a farmer's wife's dress perhaps. I bet there is a whole story in there or many stories. Thanks for sharing!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755496103593755478.post-20334364132162033722013-07-10T16:40:58.090-04:002013-07-10T16:40:58.090-04:00I love this Patti.

They all read as texture and really blend rather than compete. Love the addition of the stitching and the sinmay threads hanging out. And I am totally down with using one's own photos in artwork like this. I think your choice to use a section of the photo, rather than a focal image, makes for the perfect finishing touch.Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870075379758015838noreply@blogger.com
