Background and Finished Collage for a Found Lady...
I found the image of the woman in the finished collage (the second image below) in a discarded frame at a thrift shop. It is a vintage print of "Spring" by Currier and Ives, one of a series of the four seasons. It was badly water stained but I loved her beautiful gaze so that I brought her home. I know only a little bit about restoration, but I soaked her in a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. It took the staining almost completely away, and I created the background just below for her.
