My Most Favorite Collage Ever

I don't do a lot of collages usually. But I saw this face in a mag and I had to do this.
I used metallic paints for the background and just layered them over each other. I used colors that would compliment the butterflies. I was going to add some flowers and other things, but in the end I decided to K.I.S.S and just add some peacock feathers.
I just love the eyes, kind of magickal and almost little creepy and beautiful.
So there it is, my most favorite collage ever.
Peace

WOW, this is a beautiful piece. I hope you keep the original for yourself.... but do believe you'd make some $ if you made some cards with this as the focal point on the front.
It's so pretty......

The feathers work better than the flowers might have.

Did you title it, Mary? She's beautiful, a psychedelic mambo queen.
