A Fan of Paperwhimsy
I love working with images of children, and Paperwhimsy offers a wonderful selection of quality collage sheets. This fan was made for a swap using Paperwhimsy images and was designed around the theme of vintage music using sepia colors.
As much as I loved the way that all of the blades coordinated together, 5 of the blades were swapped with other members of the group to create a new themed and coordinated vintage fan. I still need to add the "tail" of ribbons and fibers, but I love the finished look! The finished fan blades, from left to right, were created by me, Sally Smith, Susan Goodell, Heather Robinson, and Dawn Gold.
Kathy these fans are gorgoeus and everyone did a fantastic job.
p.s. i could have sworn I left a comment on this post. oh well, i am probably just losing it, lol. Talk to you later...hugs ;o)

I love the combination of the various artists on one fan. What are you going to do with it? Hang it on the wall? It sure is beautiful.
