She Loved Fish (trade for Kate)

copyright by Marsha Jorgensen 5/15/09 All rights reserved. You may not copy or download or use any piece of this artwork.

This is a 3.5" x 5" collage using a vintage black and white image from kumareeboo.etsy.com and a fish from the public domain that were reprinted, carefully trimmed and hand-colored. The wings are used with a license agreement with Butterfly Utopia and the tape measure is from flickr's pamj. All were arranged on a watercolored background with trims from Graphic 45.

    Measuring tape, checkerboard, wings and crown......you've got all my favorite things going on. But the way you put them all together is brilliant.
    Love your style, Tumble Fish.
