Dressing up.....?

An old wooden tray that was looking particularly daggy has been dressed up with paper & Modge Podge.  I used an old American Quilt Society catalogue, tore up pieces & applied Modge Podge to seal it.  Above is the front & below is the back/bottom of the tray.

It looks a little more interesting now.

Playing with paint & collage

Didn't like the first paint job - so added lace, piece of fabric & paper & covered it all with Modge Podge - happy with it now.

Trying to be brave & use paint - background painted, then paper collage & modge podge finished it off.

The background was a piece of art painted by a 7yr old for me - it came down off the fridge, got cut up, made a postcard & sent it to the artist.  Love the way this turned out.  All 3 pieces have added to my MailArt 365 project - am now up to #271!  Counting down.

Rain rain go away

I am so tired of all the rain (flashbacks to 2011) - however, it does mean that I can do some playing - guilt free - this one is a paper & fabric collage & then I machine stitched around the edges. I've also sent some time doing paper collage mailart.

It's on white card, circles came from Mim mim4art.blogspot.com/ in USA & I have loads left. My mail art can be viewed on the Mail Art 365  -when you get there go to the bar on RHS & find BrisChris & click on that & my art will pop into view,  I'm up to No: 244 of 365 - nearly 2 years on from when I started - am still determined to get to 365.  Truly admire those who accomplished it in 12 months & some of the participants are on their 3rd go round. Think they're a bit obsessive - Mim!!!!!!
