For page 2, I thought I'd try out a background technique that I discovered on YouTube. I called the technique crossed abstracts. Here you create one abstract, wait for it to dry then tape off stripes before you paint the second abstract. I stopped at only 2 layers of stripes as I was begining to get too much wrinkling in the watercolour paper. Cheryl may have a challenge ahead of her to work on the reverse side.
After the background was dry I embellished with transparent painted tissue, a bit of texture from gauze and a snippet of a former painting. Plus a small photo applique on canvas. The photo is my mother-in-law as a child.
