Blue Bottles

My white rain lilies have not stopped blooming....there are several right now with more buds coming.

I think the blooms are just precious...and they brighten my day!

What I like about about using tissue in collage is the transparency. But the tissue sun print I shared recently was very dark...so I struggled a little bit with my first collage efforts....I'm also way out of practice. But I printed another sheet that was lighter blue...then had the idea of using them to collage some blue bottles in my art journal. 

I had a second recent tissue print....also dark...where I used a word stencil. That may be my favorite bottle! I love how the words peeking through the transparent parts of the paper look like a label. I think it might be helpful to whitewash the background around the bottles a bit. 

Here's that word stencil print I mentioned. I do really like it....but it's dark.

I'm actually quite fond of the blue bottle idea and hope to develop it a bit more. 

There are only a few pages left in this journal....maybe more sun print collage play is in my future.
