How did she come up with that?

My favorite yellowstone mixed media... so far

This is it.  This is the one.  This is the one that I like enough to consider doing watercolors on the regular:

The first two layers of this piece can be found at the Grand Prismatic, in Yellowstone.  In case you don't know, not every photo of the Grand Prismatic looks like the geodesic cover of National Geographic Magazine.  There's a certain amount of steam... but here are some of my highlights of what I caught.  Below, the reflective mirror-like edges of the hot spring.

Now, this is not the Grand Prismatic, but it is one of the springs you walk past on your way there (a lesser prismatic, I suppose).  It is bright turquoise.  And steamy.  Imagine you are a lobster...

Now, the overexposure!  This naturally-fabricated popcorn ceiling can actually be found on the ground, under a tiny layer of acidwater, at Mammoth Springs.  It reminded me of coral.  It's tough to capture the little ball texture of this in a piece of cut paper, but I really like how it turned out with the lighter paper and the curvy edges.  I rotated this piece 180 degrees so that the first layer had horizontal stripes, the second layer was composed from upper left to lower right, and the final layer spread from lower left to upper right.  In sum, my favorite piece came out of my most drab source photos - go figure!  Maybe I'm onto something....
