Frames and Mixed Media

So I had all of these frames laying about 

and they were all different sizes and colors.

 Therefore, I glued them all down on 8.5x11 cardstock

and gessoed them.

All over.

 And then using the packaging technique

I used some Heidi Swapp mists all over the page.

And then I had to hunt around for some photos and embellies.

While doing that,  I found that I wasn't crazy about the

design/layout but I persevered.

I fussy cut the love out - You've seen it before I know

and I'll probably use it again.

I put together that transparent heart, owl and flower as a premade

and was bound and determined to use it.

 Went back to the wayback box and found these photos

of me, Nick and Shane all about the same age.

I think.

Not quite what I envisioned but it was an experiment

and even though I'm not crazy about it sometimes you

gotta keep going because the end result may surprise......sort of LOL.

I'm surprised I'm not crazy about it- but

no guts no glory.

Studion Calico - more or less.
