Reflections
(click on tag for details)
The calendar is not prominent, but is there. I love this old illustration of a colonial lady reflecting over the letter she is holding. What are her thoughts - is she having to choose between two suitors? She is pensive and still. Materials used include shimmery fabric flower, gem, ribbon, and champagne colored pressed glass corner.
I was listening to Pandora instrumental music while doing this. It had a romantic mood to it, can you tell? :)
Yesterday's challenge for Mixed Media Monday was simply art. This small mixed media greeting card was the result.

Still going through the stacks in the drawers and using up scraps!
Oh this is beautiful--and I love the image and the flower--just exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made mine yet...I'm still trying to figure out where to get a vintage-looking calendar...yours is perfection!

very romantic! Maybe 'time will tell' which suitor she chose lol. What is in the corner of the tag that is copper color? Hard to tell if it's fabric or not. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, very romantic! And we can see the calendar on the background! Great Tag! *Ü*
ReplyDeleteBrenda, it's champagne colored pressed glass. I've included it in the description now - thanks!

Your tag is divine! I love the Colonial lady too. Your colors are just perfect. Also, your "art" entry is gorgeous as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the color palette of the first one :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are equally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI could see the calendar right away. Did you happen to use the Tissue Tape by Tim Holtz? I just love that stuff. I just think its great the way your imagination takes over and plays a part in your art. How much fun is that? Thank you for sharing your story with us.

ReplyDeleteThe image you chose is wonderful....great tag!
It's marvelous the way you create so many different pieces with your imagination! You truly have a gift! I think Mom and Pop would be amazed by the way you have managed to turn our "pack rat" heritage into such beautiful and fun art. I love it and I love you!
