"That there ought!"
4 x 6 Postcard
I had a lot of fun with this week's theme - No. 1 - at Sunday Postcard Art. It's been a while since I've done any collage, and I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to get out some of my Alice sheets and play . . .
"That there Ought" started life as a piece of painted card stock that was first treated with a Gesso Relief technique (you can go here to see it first hand). To that, I placed several #1 stickers over the surface and used them as a mask for bright green acrylic. Once peeled off, I added images From Alice in Wonderland that spoke to me and enhanced them with white gel pen. Final touches included a border of bold paint pens to create a scallop (still into them from last week ;), colored pencil, black ink and two forms of glitter. The quote reads, "There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I'll write one."
Thanks for your time! I look forward to seeing all of your "No. 1" postcards this week . . .

This is wonderful, Kristin. I finally watched the Alice in Wonderland movie about 3 weeks ago, uninterupted (lol). It was nice to see them with some wins at the Academy Awards. The costuming was awesome. Your postcard reminded me of the excellent movie. Beautiful!
