Rosie & Linda have challenged us to use newsprint in our artwork for this week’s Awfully Big Art Adventure. When I went to look for the paper, all I could find were the personal ads and classifieds, so I decided to take that as my theme…
I used a vintage nude from the Ten Two Studios Nudes Faux Postage sheet because she’s adorable and the perfect size for this altered puzzle piece collage!
Yes, I used an inked flower to cover up her modesty and I have the inky fingers to show for it!! This is from a large child’s floor puzzle, so I shall turn it into a fridge magnet. It has been sealed with a good coat of gel medium, so I’m sure it’ll take the heat of the kitchen!
This was a lot of fun ladies, thank you… I still have another 3 puzzle pieces in various stages of drying/collage and one that’s a pin. Till the next challenge. 😉

Rosie
/ March 14, 2009You’re right this DID make me laugh! How clever of you to use the content of the newsprint as the theme (mine were from the sports pages, so not much inspiration there)!! Love your naughty lady and thanks for taking part in our challenge again.
