opposites !



opposites challenge with arts in the cards was fun. i started with the impression of velvet to sandpaper, the musical styles of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan that as a teenager i was privileged to hear in the Hollywood Bowl. looking for used sandpaper disks left me empty handed so i went on with the theme.

Sandpaper /velvet
black/ white
gold/silver
wrong/right
burlap/lace
rough/smooth
early/late
finished/soothed.
 the train of words   got me through  without over thinking this trade.
 i am happy with the results. very simple .
trimmed burlap on coffee filter and card stock same size layered. machine stitched white lace with black threads. some gold and silver glitter paint in random area
 gave way to yet another pair .... dull/bright!

be well, Sonja
