Mixed Media Monday - Hearts and Wings

ATC made for the "Hearts and Wings" challenge over at Mixed Media Monday.  

Not a theme I would normally choose - I'm just not that girly!  But I enjoyed it and appreciate how it pushed me out of my comfort zone.  Plus I like the way it turned out!

Mixed Media Monday - Fruits

I had a bit of a creative block on this weeks theme at Mixed Media Monday. 

Not because I didn't like it~   not by any means!  Hermine chose a fantastic theme;  but one that was challenging for me.  

I was unsure how to incorporate an element that I have never used before. So this is what I came up with:  It's called "Fruit Flys"

As you can see, it is a mobile.  I used some strawberry and apple clips I have had on hand for about 2 years (I told you I don' t use fruit!).

I adhered feathers to create the wings, tied them up to some fishing line, and suspended them from a chipboard flower covered in patterned paper.    

Super simple!  

Mixed Media Monday - Primary and Secondary Colors

I have decided to participate in Mixed Media Monday, after checking out the beautiful artwork being created by the artists there.  This week's challenge is to use Primary and Secondary colors in creating your piece.  

I have covered and embellished wooden letters that rest above the window in my studio.  I used items that I have had on hand for some time, in an effort to use up some of my stash.

Thanks for checking me out.  I'm off to work on my nephews album...
