This first one used a studio portrait from around 1912 or so of my grandmother and a neighbor boy as very young children.
This next canvas used the exact same technique, but I created an entirely different effect by using a different style of photo, different image editing techniques, and different collage papers. Anything goes, really!
I am putting up this last one only to serve as a horrible example and a warning: don't let your background collage become too important! I spent HOURS creating this background, including fussy-cutting the floral bouquet in the lower left from a vintage magazine advertisement. Such a waste...
Myy grandmother was such a beautiful bride, but you would never know it from this mess.

That is definitely a class I would want to attend if I lived closer. I remember when you were working on that technique. Love the first photo of your grandmother and friend.
Good luck on getting a full class.
I'd go to the retreat just to learn this! :) Great photo.
I think everyone is going to have a lot of fun with this. Looks like it is going to be great class oh how I envy those who are going to take your class.
