When I was doing the Ratty Tatty Papers workshop recently I had painted some tissue paper and Val had suggested to me that it would be good for this months challenge.
Now not being one who ignores helpful suggestions I took her advice and used the paper for this P/C.
I tore the paper up and collaged it onto some vliesofixed felt and then added some machine stitching.
Here is the painted tissue paper that I used----------------
This is the original calendar page ----------------
My paper is more teal than green but I am happy with the way it has turned out and I hope Sandy will be too.

Oh, Doreen....I *love* orange and blue. It has always represented the American Southwest to me...the dry mesa and blue sky that almost hurts your eyes. I picture Oz as having the same colors. Glorious.
It's beautiful. I'm sure she will like it.
I love to see what you do each month for this challenge. The interpretations are so great & it's such fun to see what each person does with the theme.
The colours are fabulous. Looks like peeling paint. I prefer it to the original photo. Brilliant.
love the colours and texture on this Doreen - I must get around to doing the RTP course with Dale - sounds like fun!
I think that is great for the theme!
Beautiful. great colours. inventive use of paper. well done!
Lovely interpretation Doreen, great colour combinations and stitching to enhance.
I really like your postcard Doreen, great interpretation, colour & all.
thanks for your comment on my flower.
I love your blog! I was led her from one of your posts! You have a wonderful style with your blog & work! kudos! I just started blogging for a month; any suggestions would be nice, but I see you are a popular site! trying to open an artstudio after 20 yrs of not working; you are great inspiration for me!
sincerely Caroline
