Bleaching Photographs
I am feeling so excited this weekend! My friend, Minnie came up Friday evening to do a new project with Gail & I. We pulled out a bunch of old photos & we BLEACHED them & then added watercolors & crayons for a splash of additional color. Gail did one that I was absolutely astounded by. See the picture of the bird on the scenery background. How beautiful is that?? The tipi was done by Minnie & the trolley car by me. This is the first thing I've done for a long time that has excited me like this project. I love altering photographs! I thank Minnie so much for sharing her very valuable time to teach us this wonderful process.
Happy Sunday!

Oh Diane,
These are lovely. Gail's piece with the bird is striking.
I'd love to hear a little about the process, I've never heard of bleaching photos.
We just had a bout a foot of snow! BURRR

Dear Diane, wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year! All the best to you and your family! Warmest regards, Viola! :-)
Love this idea! I never thought about bleaching photos. The work is really stunning and how Lisa said very pop art. This is a great technique to develop a way in your art.
Merry Christmas to you Diane! I hope your next year will be plenty of good things and blessings.
You are on my heart!

I love these and the ones you did in the next post! I read about it in the same book. I wish there was a way to do this to printer pictures. It just looks so cool.
