Debrina's Contribution to Kim's Fragments, Vestiges and Remains...

My contribution to Kim's Book - Pulp Redux
Full page spread - Pulp Redux (reversible - the page folds again to reveal the other half of the Scottish Flag, the St George Cross)
Here we go girlas! Not much but enough to make Kim happy, hopefully!! I'm using my new walnut stains, acetate and specially bought fibres, fabrics and paper for my contribution. E.g. the baby, above, is printed in sepia on acetate and then mounted on a playing card with the most delightful, beautiful filigree pattern on the back (more of that later). You can remove the baby from her pouch/envelope too, btw!  ANYWAY, to read all about my contribution, click HERE!




What precious little thing is in that envelope?

Ahhhh...an unborn baby: the promise of hope and a new start in life.  Children were often born on board ship on the way over to our shores or shortly after landing.

  5. Oh, I've been caught up here with life stuff and missed your post! Lovely Debs, love the poem and the ideas here. The scottish flag is of particular significance to me as my fathers family hail from Scottish origins, (hence the red hair!) so this is particularly close to my heart! I'm off to your blog to find out more, but these glimpses are fantastic! Hugs my friend I love it!

  11. The richness of these pages evokes a thoughtful approach to your work. Love the textures, the layering, the detailing. All of it speaks so much of sustained thought with quality work in an inspired manner.
    Very beautiful.
