I do find that I enjoy putting wings on people...I don't really see the point of flying cows, or flying toasters...but wings are so--freeing! Wings allow you to go where you otherwise wouldn't-or couldn't. Wings give you breathing room, and a chance to explore.
And, if you don't like where you are...you can just fly away!
Background texture from Rubyblossom, and an overlay I made in a Digital Montage workshop; text from Graphics Fairy--isn't the penmanship beautiful!. The wing is a piece of a challenge element from DIgital Whisper and the lovely child is a Currier ane Ives illustration from a freebie from Elizabeth Golden at the Last Door Down the Hall. Bugs and random flourishes are brushes.
i love it the wings are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love knowing she can just fly away if she chooses.
ReplyDeleteWe were watching Superman yesterday and had the conversation - "If you could fly, why would you want to walk?" Rather like your post - wouldn't it be wonderful to flutter about like your creation can?!
ReplyDeleteI like putting wings on things too, it makes me happy! Your piece is just beautiful and the blending of all the elements is perfect.
