Working with older images I've found an image processing vein that needs exploration.

Voila a series of images reworked. Some of these images are years old. I "saw" something in the mind's eye and felt I needed to make yet another pass at this material.

Welcome page in my altered Dark Hearts & Winged Things book.
Collage, acrylic paint, scrapbook embellishment letters, magazine clipping, loteria card, clock face paper with plastic hands, quote from book.
These are all pages added to my altered book for a Dark-themed Round Robin.
A pirate/swashbuckler themed page in my altered book. The tag is from a great Etsy vendor. The collage below it includes clippings from magazines & old books, a mermaid loteria card, & fortune cookie slips.
The first time I've tried creating something along these lines. I think I did okay. It was certainly a challenge. There was definitely an easier way I could have done this but...
As I said, I entered a Dark Period after seeing some else's dark monochrome images. Certainly, it doesn't work for everything, but...

sometimes you are dying for it to come sooner.
sometimes you wish the time could stop for just a minute.
but truth is there is no word 'sometimes' and 'time'.

Well... it was the dead of winter afterall... when things are dark... and wet... and cold... so it is any wonder I found dark black and white work appealing?
A very old card I bought on Ebay, poem that was part of an old almanac page I received in a swap, early 1900s dictionary bird, skeleton leaves, modern stickers and lots of pen and paint...

This page has areas blocked out with my personal mailing information. Check out the tiny skeleton dangling from the safety pin...that's a gift from Tiaragoth, as was -- I think -- the blue heart. The picture is from an old National Geographic advertisement, and this is some of my favorite ribbon. I've used those red heart doilies in lots of projects over the years...

A Huge American Black Vulture stands proudly upon a rock resting in a grassy field. It is late fall the and grass has turned a golden yellowish-brown. Behind the vulture sits a leafless bush, framing the bird's black body. Hazy hills can be seen in the distance lying under a blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. An old weathered human skull rests on the rock before the vulture, and he puts his claw upon it like a conquering hero. He says aloud: "Alas, poor Yorick! He tasted good."
Here in North Georgia, I used to never see vultures. Rather, crows seemed to fill their niche at devouring dead animals. But over the past few years I've spotted black vultures more and more alongside the road. For this artwork, I just wanted to really do a simple portrait of a one such buzzard (note that, in America, the terms "Buzzard" and "Vulture" are synonymous). Despite their lowly reputations, they can be quite smart and are a very useful bird (at least, at cleaning up the road kill, that is). They do, at times, tend to be a bit clumsy though, and can be loads of fun to watch.
