The Many Faces of Art

We had the opportunity to use 1 wild card during the making of the book. I took up that option with this page and called it "The many faces of Art" instaed of the one entitled "This song is for you "

My background is all swirls highlighted with Inkessentials white pen. The top face was made by copying a brooch Alison had made for me using mold n pour and then filling with UTEE. The other tiles were made by stamping on to mountboard and inking.
