Asian really isn't my "thing" but that is the great thing about this swap - not everyones theme is your cup of tea, so it stretches your creativity. I think the dragon page was my biggest test yet. Dragons CERTAINLY ARE NOT my thing! Still once I found an image I could work with..... As you know I received my Kelly Rae Roberts book this week and have been itching to try out some of the techniques. Yesterday I bought some more golden fluids -for my classes next year, and also bought a couple of shriva sticks. The latter are just divine - 
will have to get me more of those!
will have to get me more of those!Anyway the top photo is my Asian collage completed. The background paper was very bright greens and I also added some text collage and other collage papers. Covered them in golden fluids and shriva sticks and you have the image to the left. After I scanned it I thought it looked a little unfinished, so I added a metal corner to the roof peak, and went around the children with while gel pen. I just thought that they were blending a little too much with the background...

This is simply stunning, Greta. I have to confess I had not visited your blog for quite a while, but after you left your kind comments on mine, I thought it was high time I had a look again. All the new pieces I found on your blog are very inspiring, especially the houses!
Enjoyed the visit today!
I love the images and your background is fantastic, you will have to start giving lessons.
