Altered Business Cards

I found the business card for Mona Lisas over in West End and just had to mess around with it. So I've taken the card, mounted it on a block of wood, then extended the picture and added some collage bits. The feet are wooden beads which have just been glued on. Now I'm feeling a bit guilty about "borrowing" their cards. Maybe I'll donate one of the pieces to them. Just not sure how to start the conversation though.

Altered Photos

I've been having so much fun altering things. This is a picture of a lotus flower taken in the Adelaide botanical gardens. I soaked the photo in water then scratched back the emulsion layer. When it was dry, I painted the background with acrylic paint. Some were converted into postcards, and yes, despite being a bit floppy, they made it through the mail.

EMERGENCY PRAYER KIT

I found an old Moroccan travel poster, and somehow this box just evolved from that.
I had a lot of fun mixing up the religious trinkets - an old set of rosary beads added to a set of buddha images, creating a buddha rosary. I especially enjoyed the blueness of this box.

ALTERED BOXES

It's not that I havent been busy. It's just that I haven't been posting.
I'm following through on my passion for altering thingsb- boxes, cards, photos, jewellry.
This baby box is one of those pieces that disturbes most people. Heck I even felt like a murderer when I dismembered the doll in the first place.
