Something Different....

Hello everyone.. Hope your all doing well..  I have something a little different to share with you today..

Its my venture in to Mixed Media.

 A few weeks ago I started playing around with  Mail Art, that in no time lead me to mixed media..

It also lead me to sketching,  I use to do that a lot as a kid..

But was never that good at it.. Well I'm still not that great at it, But have been enjoying

 giving it a try again..

Here is one of the sketch's, that I used on this  project.

I know, I know, she not really in proposition.

Here she is colored

So then I painted a canvas with Acrylic paint. Did some stamping on it., Some stenciling, Colored the butterfly's with markers, added some flowers, and added the text..I know its not that great But I cant begin to tell you how much fun I had with it..

 Well that's it for today thanks for stopping by and for all your lovely comments..
