Purple Flower Mixed Media Art Collaboration

 this one started out with torn pieces of old reject watercolours stuck onto another watercolour......
 & some more pieces from a pen & wash of gum leaves.......
 this didn't inspire me, so i painted over it with gesso......
 found a silk shirt Simonne had sent to me......ripped it up, stuck it down, arranged the pen & wash bits to form a flower shape......
 added some more silk &  some colour to the centre  of the flower.......framed it in the back of an old canvas with torn lace table cloth, also from Simonne, a doily, paper with stitching from a cat litter bag, sticks from beach walks, round metal cap, a spring from old secateurs & wrapped with rusty wire i rescued before it was put in the bin!
 so Simonne has participated in this art work, even though she doesn't know what i do with the bits & pieces she sends me until i complete something. without her input it just wouldn't be the same! thanks Simonne!!
