for better or for worse

Hand cut collage using original pages from vintage book finds. This is my first try at color water transfers for the roses. They are from a rose gardening book, transfered onto tape and all the paper removed. This just leaves the colored image anything white comes off. I use this process quite often for black and white images and it works well, using it on color you loose a bit of the crispness. But it sure damn beats trying to cut out tiny rose stems and thorns.
