Here are a couple more pages from my Kelly Kilmer collage classes. We used wax pastels to blend in our backgrounds and get a neat variegated rainbow kinda look ... and boy do I love these wax pastels!
aaaaah! I love the sunflower musings! My first *attempt* at altered art was a sunflower page, so I know how blessed difficult it is to cut all those little shapes out. You did a great job! :)
Looks great, Karen. You reminded me that I really liked my wax pastels too but I've barely touched them since the one class I used them in! Time to get back to those. ;-))
The Egyptian Sun and Sunflower are just beautiful! I like the effect that you got with the wax pastels--makes it very cohesive and soft. I have the chalk pastels and oil pastels, but haven't heard of wax pastels. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work! --Elizabeth in NM
Hi Karen, Love the overall look. I don't think I've tried wax pastels. I took Kelly's class to in Lake Elsinore, Ca. I made a small book like she had and really got a kick out of it. So much of what I did looks unfinished and I think maybe the pastels like you did would finish it off. Thanks for the great work. Laura
