Trains and Signs

The C and O Railway Heritage Center ~ Clifton Forge, Virginia
I am still trying to teach myself how to create my own collages/mosaics from scratch. I got the sizing/constraining off a bit in the first one, but I did better with the second thanks to a wonderful tutorial by Kim Klassen. It has taken me all day long to get to this point. The nuns definitely taught me to persevere.

This post is liked with Lesley's Signs2.

  11. The trains are a great subject for a mosaic. Once you've figured out how to do a mosaic. it becomes almost second nature. :))
