Flirty Woman

6x3.5 mixed media collage on archival foamcore begun Friday then completed yesterday.  Beginning with alcohol inks several warm colors were added then a blue green.  India ink and a chopstick started the facial features with eyebrow first, then eye, hair strands, mouth and nose.  I messed up the nose with an ink spill so simply cut out vintage book text and collaged over it, then painted that with acrylics.  Colored hair strands are blues, reds, and pink acrylic as is her eye and lips.  White gel pen was used on her mouth and highlights of her eye.
