Emmie creates pet portraits via paper collage. She starts out with a picture you have sent her. She sketches the pet, then gathers bits of magazines. She creates the background first, then creates the pet’s body, finishing up with eyes and nose, capturing the personality of your pet. She includes words in the background of the portrait that mean something particularly to you, such a a pet’s nickname, other pet’s names, the pet’s favorite toy, etc. Also, somewhere in each portrait is a hidden butterfly.

I can’t say enough about this artist. I could look at her work for hours. You’ll see as I share some of it with you –

Ooh and ahh over the portrait itself, then find the special words, and then see if you can find the butterfly. :0)

Remember, these are created with cut up magazine pieces!

I’ve often been impressed by the talent of people. This rates an open mouth, as far as I’m concerned. I’ll share more another time.
