This collage was very nicely stored in the trunk of our car, together with a bottle of plum brandy (Mirabelle, which is a small yellow plum, a speciality of Lorraine). The cork wasn't so well set, so some of the brandy overflowed my collage. I was litterally destroyed when I saw the disaster. After some drying and desperate ironing, the collage still looked awful. So I decided to tempt a digital restoration, and, after some efforts, decided to keep it and to publish it.

What makes me wonder is that I am so much attached to this collage - I currently am at 2940 collages published. So it is only 1/2940d of the whole collection. But in my eyes. each of them is unique and valuable and my creative flow (!) doesn't like any failure (I very rarely throw a collage in progress away, perferring to finish it, even if that means a lot of energy. Another fact is that I wouldn't care about the original collage if it would have been previously scanned, the main document being the scan for me.

What about the collage itself? I like it, even if the skin got some greenish tint. My wife told me to accept the accident, that the picture still looked nice, but I couldn't resist restoring some parts of it, but the digital work doesn't appeal to me so much in fact. So, next time I'll check the corks of the brandy bottles my brother-in-law filled up, for sure.
