Throwing out the Trash!




My favorite design elements are layers and textures. I secretly collect garbage..LOL. I start to throw things away and just before I toss it I see the potential in a future art piece. My family thinks I 'm completely nuts!! I usually have no clue what I'm going to use it for, I just know I might need it. The net on this card was made from a webbed plastic fruit wrapper. I don't even know what they call it!!

Mystic

I'm currently playing around with alcohol inks. I've been in a mood to create something mystical using dark vibrant colors, especially blues. Well it's not quite finished. I will be adding the text "dream" to the bottom right corner. I used silver webbing spray for the base. Alcohol inks for the water lily background . Silver metallic pen for edging of cardstock. Embellished with beads and fibers. Mounting tape used for added dimension.
