Beautiful photo layout of the community Thrift Store on Valencia Street. I love the printed paper that it is mounted on. 

Look at the pink striping at the top of the building...very cool Fleur...thank you *!*

I'm glad that you like it, Amy!

I printed the photo on my usual glossy paper, and did some creative trimming around the edges since I've gotten a bit bored with rectangles lately.

Then I mounted the trimmed photo on a piece of Nepalese batik paper that I got at Blick Art. The lighter parts of this batik paper are translucent, so I glued it on top of a piece of hot pink origami paper to get the pink tint to the leaves and stems.

I finished the piece off with one of my signature flowers.

I love Valencia Street! It's one of my favorite walks in San Francisco.
