Winter Tulips

I worked on these fun pieces in the fall, but since they were entered into a contest, I couldn't post them in their final glory. They're formed from stitchpaper collage pieces which were cut and thread sketched, then adhered to a canvas panel. From there I went a little crazy with paints, embossing and alterations until I was happy with them. A tribute to Spring in the dead of winter! I had to walk away from them for a long while, but now when I look at them they make me feel cheery.
