Gossipy George

Hi, after seeing on Facebook that the Unruly Paper Art Group are having a challenge this month and asking for Facebookers to show us an ATC used in Altered Art, thought I would have a go......

Let me introduce you to George the very gossipy cat and his poor Mistress, Hilda.  He is always telling her the latest gossip about the Soaps on TV and any other titbit of news.  George told her what was going to happen in Coronation Street this week and Hilda was not best pleased as she doesn't like to hear the storylines in advance, just look at the expression on her face............lol

The ATC is mounted on a used shaped Canvas Sheet which had been Gessoed, painted in Acrylic and edged with Pewter Liquid Leaf.
The ATC was stamped with the Rogue Redhead - Just Sayin' plate and coloured with watercolours.
Didn't think it was altered enough so then this happened.........


Yep now its been digitally altered into a box...............

The weather here is so very cold at the moment brrr.   Thank you for visiting me and will see you soon. Got to brave the weather today and go  food shopping, will be glad to get back home.  Take care of yourselves, hugs Annette xx

Netty, I sure don't know how you do that magic. I am guessing it is photoshop or something like it. This is truly amazing. The ATC as it was was adorable and colored so beautifully. Great work.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have food delivered in bad weather?? However, they would probably not pick out the correct items! Love this altered ATC cube! Have fun and stay warm!

Hey Annette! Well she certainly does not look like a happy camper - what an imagination you have. What - it was digital altered into a box. Is that what they mean by virtual reality? cool!!
