Lured by the Light

11″ x 14″ collage on paper

I love how this collage “Lured by the Light” turned out! I found the images of vintage fishing lures in a magazine some time ago and stashed them away until I found a good way to use them. The piece also incorporates some pressed leaves, gel pens, ink, and acrylic paint, sealed with a light coating of Mod Podge to keep it all intact.

If my grandfather were alive today, this would be a gift I would present to him. He used to take me fishing often. Honestly, I didn’t really want to catch fish, it was gross and wouldn’t eat it till I was in my 30’s, but I did love being outdoors in nature, and spending time with him was priceless. 

Naturally this time of year I miss my grandfather, and my dad especially. Both were so important to me and I didn’t get nearly enough time with them. But they will forever live in my heart and in my memories! Happy Father’s Day to all you dad’s out there, have a great weekend! 

“Lured by the Light” matted and framed!

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.

        Lol! Yes. Believe it or not, it is. You can attract fish by “shining” them with a flashlight or other lighting device.

    I showed my husband this and immediately, fisherman that he is, he smiled about the lures… Then promptly told me that i was his best catch yet.
