"Her Bottom Drawer"

I was going to put up another image tonight but I got sidetracked. I went straight for a bit of playful tomfoolery that began with my typical method of collaging a pair of faces and touching up the rough edges before moving along. Next, I tossed it all into a filter that I don't normally rely upon for any sort of finished look, but it often rewards me with a layer that can further the uniqueness of things. This time, a few minutes of tweaking offered exactly what you're seeing here and, for me, it resembled nothing short of a lingerie drawer. To be sure, it's the bottom, catch-all where dainty things may often be quickly tossed for this reason or that. As with this piece from a few weeks ago it was colorful and shiny and reminiscent of the Holidays that are now squarely upon us.
