Valentine Heart WIP on canvas

12x12 torn paper collage on canvas board, a work in progress in my series on hearts for Valentine's Day.  First I drew a heart shape with black felt tip pen.  I opened my stash of color coded magazine pages to the reds then tore, not cut with scissors, various pieces that are adhered with matte medium using an old bristle brush.  Look center and down right to see the letters H-E-A-R-T with the T being red on a blue background.  This is about 1.5 hours work and will post progressive photos tomorrow.

Purple Heart Valentine

5.5x5.5 alcohol inks on Yupo medium weight synthetic paper done today using two purple inks: Currant and Purple Twilight by Tim Holtz.  I had first drawn a heart outline using a white Crayola wax crayon hoping the ink would stay within its shape but did not so just went with the flow and enhanced with 91% alcohol and blending solution to get a smooth background.  I like how both purples separated into blues and reds.
