inspired by my beach glass and an old book cover
(devoid of it's pages)
for this piece, I used the entire book cover
I love the dimensionality the spine gives
plus, it can stand alone - or hang on the wall
the back is teabag paper and gesso .... I would love this on my walls
ingredients:
empty book cover
book text
thread
lavender
sea glass
copper wire
tea bag paper
gesso
watercolor paint
acrylic medium
*
and the sky the last couple of days ....
ingredients:
thunder
lightning
rain
IT STAYS IN PLACE--Oh, lovely lovely. I am inspired.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Those green pieces with the copper wire remind me of wire-wrapped moldavite necklaces I've seen. Very pretty and unique piece.
ReplyDeleteOh, and love your sky pic with the gorgeous clouds!!
Love this! And I just took a tour of your etsy shop! Oh my! I adore the poem collages! I've been using loose tea for a while now... but I love what you do with your tea bags, so when I'm out of loose... I might just have to go back to bags! You stone birds are so cute too! And your paintings! Oh I've missed you and I'm so glad I'm back!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely piece - I love the words on the book spine.
