 (Click to see bigger image) I was inspired by artist http://lynnehoppe.blogspot.com/on her teabag technique,and just loved it.
My sweet little enchanted guardian is on her way to the UK.Listed her in my etsy, and was sold. I know she's going to a good home ;-) xox

Mixed Media

This was done on Baltic Birchwood 6" x 12"

I initially did a fabric collage on muslin then

made background with homemade paper layered

with 100% beeswax

Use the collage as the focal point.

Used more beeswax for sealing.

Smells so nice....

Ready to hang

~Brag Book~

Inspired by Misty Mawn Altered Photo day Misty's altered photo challenge.
I am creating what's called a "Brag Book".

This is also inspired by the Somerset Workshop Magazine (August 2008 issue)

by artist Shona Cole.

Here are my three altered photos so far

In this little book I'll be bragging about Bijou

my cat.;-)))

I am not to sure how many pages I will make for

the book. I used 81/2 x 51/2 handmade paper

with a coat of gesso on both sides. Just love

working on this.

Will continue with progress on other posts.
