Tag Tuesday - Calendar & Mixed Media Monday

At Kard Krazy, Louise's theme today was calender, dates and such. This is my entry:

Reflections

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!

  2. 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!!

  9. I 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.

  11. 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!
