Collage Obsession-Fruitful


Collage Obsessions challenge this week give us the theme Fruitful, and a lovely image of a painting by Millet. So I used both, incorporating a beautiful vintage ad for berry plants with the painting. To compensate for the gigantic fruit, I made the lovely ladies into tiny sprites.

I don't know where I found the ad--some time ago I found a site showing a lot of vintage ads from seed and plant catalogues, perhaps it was there. I also used a texture piece from Pareeerica at T4L,which brightened the soft colors, and a couple of brushes for the flourishes.

Thanks for visiting.
