ideas i have been playing with

I have been playing with silhouettes and positive and negative space:



I'm going to try this with some of the drawings I have in my sketchbooks.



This one is a combination of pieces from other drawings.
I used Photoshop to fill in line drawings and cut and paste the pieces into a picture. I want to work this concept into a paper doll.

You are a true scherrenschnitte artist Elaine! Love these. I have been planning a bookmark designed on the cut out and painted idea!One of these days I must learn more about designing on a computer. It is a wonderful tool.
