This week's Flickr inspiration comes from Fiona Watson -- or Wild Goose Chase on Flickr. Her photostream is filled with beautiful still life works, carefully constructed from a variety of bits and pieces that she brings together just perfectly. Fiona is also a talented portrait artist -- you can see more of her work here.
I love this photo, which she calls Metamorphosis. I thought the underlying clean lines, the high contrast of the colours and the silhouetted shapes would make it easy to translate into a scrapbook page. But not so much:
I tried cutting butterflies and birds but had no luck with them looking delicate like Fiona's, so went for a scrapbook staple in the scallop punches. This isn't a composition I would normally create and I'm not sure that it's totally finished, but that's the point of Flickr Fridays: to bring an element of inspiration to try something new. You never know...it may grow on me.
But now you have the chance to show me up and create a masterpiece using Fiona's photo as a point of inspiration. Be sure to send us your Flickr Friday pages -- yours could be featured on the pages of Scrapbook Inspirations.
Have a fabulously scrappy weekend!
