I did this for Collage Obsession {Swan} and Take a Word {Oriental}. While looking for "oriental" images, I found this marvelous painting at Art Freebies. I like it so much that I couldn't bring myself to mess with it, so I made the canvas (and water) bigger and put in some swans:
This is for a challenge at The Three Muses {Eggs}. I had fun with this one:

I like them both! The swam one has a very surreal quality to it. Love the way you extended the water and swans right out of the canvas.

THey are both great but the first one is really gorgous!

I agree with everyone. Both are great. The second is just eggseptional.....ahem! Thanks for playing along with us at Three Muses this week.

I love your swan collage - it's absolutely beautiful and elegant, and you have used the various swan images in a very clever way. Thank you so much for participating in the challange! P.S. Your eggs piece is great, too, and I can imagine you had fun making it.

Two wonderful creations!

Woweee, both of these pieces are gorgeous but the swan collage is magnificent.

Both are eggcellent and eggstremely creative. I love the two and it is impossible to choose between them because they are going into two completely different directions.
Great artwork. Thanks so much for taking part in the challenge this week.
