A few pretty pictures .....


As promised, here are the two other mixed media pieces that were sent as BRAKS.



While I was in my MM frenzy, I discovered a half finished altered CD - I had stopped because the main image somehow had lost some of its detail but I decided to go over her with a black pen and add a few more splodges - am keeping thisone becaue it is kinda quirky and also has the only bit of metal hand embossing I've ever been able to do . Whilst doing it I remember all the stamped image came off (another reason it got put to one side) but I restamped the clock image onto tissue and stuck it over the top. Kinda worked!! The little puzzle charm was also a trade from Dee, and I think I originally stole the bird tag from my mate Tish (or at least the idea of stamping it into embossing powder), both very good reasons why I shall be keeping this piece.



Whilst rummaging through my pile of discarded bits I found a nice piece of stamping using some Tim Holtz stamps I recently purchased plus two almost completed tags which I was able to use to make up an entry for this month's UK Art Raffle. The theme is tags so I used the stamping to front a little wallet and made a third tag to go in it. So that was nice, didn't have to think too hard about that this month!!
