At the Floriade in Venlo (2012) there was a garden made by Sjer Jacobs, an artist from Tegelen. He loves to create art by using natural materials, as he did with this work of art. The heads were covered with soil and then plants started to grow on it. I loved it, it was so beautiful.

Process notes:
I placed a photoblendz overlay (no. 4), duplicated it, then flipped it horizontal. I clipped my photo to it with the blending mode set on vivid light.
I added several transfers and I did shift some of the layers in the transfers, I clipped three different Artplay Solid papers "Storm" to some and played with the blending modes, till I liked the result. (see tutorials on Anna's You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChF6IBkqIneIZCCvUaKKtCg ).
I placed some elements and urban threadz and placed the multi media arrows. I added the title Together, for I think that is how the heads of soil were named by the artist.
Thanks for looking!
