I've begun to incorporate what I'm calling "tracings" into my work. I gesso over images just enough so that I can still partially see them. Then I trace over the basics with pen but redesign the rest. The figure of the woman was from an old b/w photo, and the images of the egg and of the needle and thread were from a book and a magazine, respectively. It sort of feels like I'm "cheating," but there's something incredibly engrossing about reinventing something that already exists by putting your own personal spin on it.
