photgraphy collage with hand embroidery - on paper


I decided to experiment more with hand embroidery on paper. This mixed media piece has hand embroidery at the bottom and also the top right. The words are taken from a scootering magazine.
 
I think this works well, the combination of the photograph with the abstract images at the top. Will explore this further by changing the image at the top to see how it changes the overall feel of the work.

Experiment with decollage. I have never done this method before so was interested to see how it would turn out.

Quite pleased with the outcome although I used the wrong coloured paper, the blue and the yellow as its too stark. I like the 'roughness' of it I think it ties in well with the scooter theme. Will experiment more with this.
