Progress!
I don't have a picture to show you, but I made real progress on my 2xcreative project last night.
I got the text of the poem written out on the sheet of nice paper, and got the first of the background images (some snowflakes) stamped onto it. I also highlighted some of the snowflake stamps with iridescent glitter. The image is of dirty snowflakes falling onto a guttering forest fire, so I want to evoke both the clean iciness of the snow and the dirt and mess of the soot. I think the iridescent glitter over the stamped black images brings that up pretty well.
I need to hit the craft store after work and pick up some more red and orange colored pencils and some glitter glue in different colors.
