Sometimes (but not always) comes the vintage papers and personal touch layer...
Depending on the patron's direction, I can include references to important places, quotes, dates, names...I collect old books of maps and love children's book illustration from the turn of the last century. These details are often the things that are revealed to the viewer during the second, third or otherwise subsequent visits to the finished piece.
For this current piece, I have also pulled from old music books to get dots that are rich and fitting colors to the piece.
This is beautiful! and if I ever get caught up on things, I might try employing a bit of this idea for the kids scrapbooks!
