Little Edie

I found this image of little Edie online.  Everyone has been trying faces so I decided to give it a go.  I like it except she lost a few years in my rendition.  Wrinkles are hard to paint.  

Got brave and did some gelli printing right on the page.  Then used more gelli print papers to fill the background and make the flowers.  I used a white gel pen to dress the flowers up and write quotes as part of my background.  Little Edie was an amazing women and I am forever changed by finding out about her and her mom big Edie.  I watched the documentary many times and learn something new every time I watch.
