New Project - New Forest

Regan sent us all this image:













along with this note:

Dear Drawn Lots,
Let us revive ourselves. . .what do you say?! Well, I am all by my lonesome with lots of time in Texas so I came up with this little project that I thought we could work on together from a distance--just to pass the time and entertain ourselves and maybe learn some new tricks. . .I picked up an image on the web of the "New Forest" in England and then I pulled some fragments out of the image on photoshop and plunked them onto an 8 x 10 image. I will pass it along first to Juan, who can then pass it to Jeremy and then Michael and around and around in a circle until we grow weary of it. . . does this work? Any suggestions? Maybe we could post it on our blog so that anytime you wanted you could just grab it off there and work on it and then repost it? I attached the source image and also a link to the New Forest http://www.newforest.hampshire.org.uk/ , and the new collaborative piece that you can do anything to--no limits, no theme, as of yet. I honestly took fifteen minutes on this first bit of collaging, this is very rudimentary and just for play. . .okay? sound good?! Well, let me know!

Bye for now,
Best,
Regan
