My Renaissance Friend

Inspired by a Wanderlust class by Eliza Trojanowska,
this is a double-page spread in my collage journal.


My renaissance girl
is an image from National Galley of Art
paired with an image from Dover.

She is by Leonardo da Vinci
entitled Ginevra de' Benci
c. 1474/1478


The first page uses a page torn from Pride & Prejudice,
teabag paper,
Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs (Elements),
mt washi tape ,
printed text,
Stabilo All black pencil
& a scrap of a printed image by Shawn Petite.


Soft, graceful & thoughtful,
as she sets about writing her own story.


On the second page she is paired
with an image from a current magazine,
set over the image & words of a page
from my Wreck This Journal book.


There is mt washi tape,
book text & scraps of printed paper as before,
together with printed text
& Stabilo All black pencil.


Here she has more attitude,
defiance & strength,
as she makes a stand in the modern world,
unafraid to just be herself.
