Tribute to My Friends

Working with colors has never been my strong point in art, I'll admit; in fact, I try to refrain from using color whenever I can, and only use it when absolutely necessary. Like in art class assignments or with something like this next picture.

This has 3 (or 4 if you count the wording) separate images incorporated into one. The first image used is the outline of the girl and falling petals (to see original go to: http://www.kagayastudio.com/celes/bless/bless.html ). The second is the butterfly, taken of a small Telus booklet. And the third is the designs on the wings of the butterfly, a small piece of a larger image. The word Tamashii is Japanese for spirit, a suitable title for the overall picture.

The colors weren't hard to choose, I decided to use the signature colors of me and 2 of my close friends. Pencil crayon was used first and then I went over with colored felts.
