Relaxation Pages

Today is Gilberto's funeral; I had that on my mind here.
I wanted to try something with an overall masculine sense to it.
I love this one; the hands of the elderly woman started it all, then I just created a sort of 'memory flow', as if the images were her memories. The stamped image in this is by my favorite rubber stamp artist, Lea Cioci. Gorgeous patterned rice & fiber papers that I wanted to use, and a tag I made using a milk stencil technique - yep, dip your stamp into milk, stamp the paper, then heat the stamped image with a heat gun until you reach a level of 'burn' that appeals aesthetically.
