This was created in collaboration with Angi Sullins - with portions taken from a traditional collage she created.
The funny thing is, her collage was called "Rabbitude" - very much featuring a lovely white rabbit. But all *I* could see were these fantastic orange details that made me think of goldfish, and koi!
So, I nabbed those details, and voila! Splendiferous was born. I tried to keep the chunky look of handmade, cutout collage with the original details I liked, and blend it with the smoother, texturized elements that I adore making with Photoshop.
You can't really tell here, but see the scales on those fish? Each one was hand placed, made from another detail element in her collage. Oi!
