| Parchment Girl | January 28, 2010 @ 4:59pm | Detail of a head from a sculpture by Alan houser, titled "Resting at the Spring."
I taped a piece of parchment paper for cooking up on a window and shot several images of it. So I used one of those shots for the composite. Sepia toned.

There used to be a great arts and crafts supply store less than a mile from me. It closed, much to my dismay. Now I have to go to the other side of town, which I don't do very often.
This store had all kinds of rice papers and other translucent and textured sheets. Now I wish I'd bought a sample of each to use as backgrounds to layer over certain images.
So if anyone lives near one of these stores, go look at the paper supplies - you might find something you like - they can also be used as backgrounds for small objects when you shoot them.
Or if you print and make your own cards - some of those papers make exquisite inner linings or outer sheets. Or envelops - they are not hard to make - just peel apart an envelop of the right size, trace and cut around it and glue together.
The US Postal Service will thank you for sending real cards instead of electronic ones, lol.

A very successful image. Why did you say "composite"? Did you photography the statue first an then the parchment paper?
It looks like an embossed brass statue. Which material was used by the sculptor?
I also appreciate the shade of sepia you have chosen.

I'd made the image of the bronze sculpture a couple of months ago.
The other day I photographed the parchment paper - and then composited the 2, with the paper on the top layer. I then painted out with a low opacity - like about 8% - the areas where I wanted a little more definition.
