I created this for Ginger Snap Creations' Third Annual Copper, Ginger or Rust Challenge.
I used copper, ginger, and rust to create this collage. The copper ring is actually a part for a handbag. I hand-beaded the frame around it. The lady in the photograph is not a relative, but the photo is one of those wonderful 'freebie' photos that I've had for some time just waiting for the right time to use it. She is so lovely, she seems to just burst right out of the photograph! I filled the copper ring containing her photo with Glossy Accents. I created the collage around the photo using a page from an old book, some rust-colored quilt fabric, a cut-up leather leaf and a ginger-colored paint chip.
