A Mixed Media Journey

Hello all,

While I was out searching for treasures at my favorite antique shops and second hand stores, I found a really cool vintage car (home decor piece) done in metal.  I grabbed it up right away with thoughts of a Mixed Media canvas bouncing around in my head.  I was so excited however, it took me several weeks to fit this project into my schedule.  So much mixed media, so little time!  lol

Anyhow, just wanted to share this project with you today.  I am planning on framing this 14″ x 18″ piece once I find the perfect frame.

I love how it turned out and I hope you do too!

Happy day!

Bird in Flight, Steampunk

Hello all,

Wanted to share my latest project with you all.  I haven’t done a rustic piece in a while.  I always enjoy creating the rusty effects with acrylic paint and texture paint.   This is one of those projects where the photo doesn’t do it justice; it just doesn’t pick up the texture that you see in person.  Anyhow, that doesn’t dim the joy of creating.  I love the process of creating layer over layer of color and texture.  This piece features a Vintage iron star, junk jewelry as well as many other bits and bobs.

I will be at the Urban Flea Market in Downtown Salt Lake City this Sunday,  May 5th and this piece will be on sale with many other pieces.   Hope you will stop on by and say hi!

Happy day!
