Digital Whisper Dreamers' Challenge - Gypsy

The theme for this week's challenge made me think of a digital collage I created several years ago. It was published in Artella magazine. The poem was written by a woman who called herself "Bobute." She identified herself as being part gypsy. I liked the poem so much that I had to create a collage with it.

Gypsy Altered Book

I'm finally working on my first altered book! I've been wanting to try it for a long time.

I want to add some metal corners to the cover.

This is the inside cover and first page.

I've got plenty more to go. I'm kind of learning as I go along, so there are plenty of imperfections. But I'm learning that makes art more interesting.

Self Portrait for Art Journal Caravan

Tangie Baxter is putting together a digital book of portraits of this year's Art Journal Caravan members. She asked us to provide a self-portrait. Since I've been feeling some kind of gypsy yearning in my blood lately, this is the portrait I came up with:

Marry A Gypsy

I've always thought gypsies, the travelers, were fascinating. I bought a digital scrapbooking kit by Tangie Baxter called "Gypsy" that was on sale, and created the digital collage below. The boy in the picture is from a free collage sheet you can get from Dezinaworld.
