FALL SYMPHONY

This piece was a fun one to do!

I used a photo transfer for the very background

trees. On the blue dress I first of all pasted some hearts cutouts from japanese rice paper, and then covered it this with another beautiful transclucent blue paper for her dress.

It was a piece to honour the fall.

A Haiku poem accompanies this piece

Fall Symphony by Mariette

Fall in its beauty

Leaves of oranges and red

Visual Delight
