Created for the Mixed Media Monday Challenge where the Theme this week is Altered People. I started by glueing various background papers to matt cardstock, then painting them with a thin layer of gesso. Next I added various colours wash sprays, and a little more gesso. The main image was attached, then gesso painted around it. Some paper doily was addded after painting it with gesso and spraying with colour wash, then the words. The whole thing was sprayed with a couple of coats of gloss lacquer to finish.
