A Self Portrait Of Sorts

Over at Project 52 they have a multi medium challenge going on. This is my take on it.
I made the paper mache bird. I used a ceramic piece as my mold and then cut it in half, pulled it off then mended it back together. Used Coffee Shop and Candlelight Glimmer Mist. Then a pale yellow acrylic paint. Mixed black paint and Coffee Shop mist for the details on the wings.

Made a birds nest out of Wool fiber, twine, wire and grass. Made the stand out of wooden thread spools, and a plastic lid. distressing them with crackle paint. Then of course I added Prima flowers and pearls.

The tags say; mom, wife, friend, art, and of course God. I needed a found item I used the cross charm as my found item. I made the bird to show how staying home with my kids again makes me feel nurturing again :)and the craftiness of birds and their nest represents my artistic side.






I made another book as well :) This one was made out of a Dictionary


Thank you for stopping by :) How you liked my projects. :) Sorry I've been MIA Hugs Everybody !!! Have a wonderful weekend.

New Canvas

Well I had the art bug this week. I made two canvases one you have to wait to see and I have one you can see now. I joined in on the Challenge 1 over at Project 52. It was a lot of fun.

For the background I mixed paint and Gel Medium to build some texture. Then over that I sprayed it with Pine Cone glimmer Mist,The next step I took Tim Holtz Picket Fence crackle paint to the outside edges and mixed around the center. Then I distressed it with some walnut ink and a little more pine cone and iridecent gold glimmer mist. Then I stitched through some copper wire through the canvas. I made the wings out of Copic Markers and Glimmer Mist. The frame around my words is also Tattered angels. It has Pine cone and Cinder on it. Then I sanded it. I stamped my title. The butterflies I punched then colored. I used Twigs and dried leaves as well.



Thanks for looking :) Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)
