Playing with pears

Just a small composition I created on a whim.  The body of the pear is made from sanding dark colored magazine pages over a raised pattern.  I made a whole bunch of pages at one time and use them as I need them.

BTW, the vintage paper to the left is really vintage and not aged by me.  I have a whole book of it that I found at a rummage or garage sale.  And bonus: it's in French.
