It's Nice When My Friends Know Me So Well

A group at my office had a luncheon today. The hostesses offered me lunch as well. 
Fried Chicken and yummy mashed potatoes and chocolate dipped strawberries were served. It was delicious. The part I was most excited about was the pretty butterfly napkin that came with my lunch.  My co-workers know me well because Miss Betty suggested I take an extra napkin for my art. 

This page was done with that napkin. I used matte medium to glue the napkin down. Then I put a thin layer of titan buff and water over the whole page. I glued part of the left over napkin to an encyclopedia page and part to a scrap of watercolor paper.  The larger piece you see on the top right was glued to the book page. I love how the words peek through the napkin.  I did not put any titan buff on the parts I cut out because I wanted them to stand out again the background.  I used a darker shade of buff and a bit of maroon paint to make some of the circles. I also mixed the buff with white to make a creme color to make additional circles and some dots.  The lines were made with a credit card dipped in the paint. 

I posted two photos because I could decide which I liked better after I edited the colors of the photos.
