The Sisters

Sisters are forever.

I did a blue page, which is rare for me.

I don't dislike blue, so I don't know why I don't use it more often.

The Goodie Box from Kim Arrived!

A couple of weeks ago, I won a goodie box from Kim at Art & imagesbykim. It finally made the long voyage from Canada to Texas. And let me tell you, when Kim said she was packing it full, you better believe she knew how to pack it in!

You just can't imagine all the treasures waiting inside.

As I pulled back the tissue, I found layers and layers of packets, velvet bags, organza bags, and tissue bundles....all filled with delightful things........

There was a packet of charms....

A bundle of lace......

A stash of orange.......

A treasure trove of wonderfulness.....

And delicious ephemera....

There were so many bundles to open and beauties to behold, it took 40 minutes to go through it all!

And I haven't even told you about Kim's incredible art pieces included in the Box O' Goodness! That will be another post. Until then, take a look at her blog and drool knowing that I am the proud owner of several of her beauties!

Thanks, Kim! I love it all!!

Mixed Media Monday - "Generations"

Generations of Love

The theme Fatma chose for Mixed Media Monday was "Generations". There were so many wonderful options for this one! I finally decided on couples. What a great theme.

I used a dusy pink acrylic paint for the first layer of background, then added single layers of a paper napkin, torn into pieces. The round silver and vellum tags are symbolic to wedding bands. The purple silk petals have their own romantic story.

A couple of years ago we were RVing at a favorite site. Just up the hill was a sweet little outdoor ampitheater/church. One morning we were out walking and wandered through the area. All down the aisle, about the stone pews, and on the altar were dozens of these purple petals, quite obviously strewn by a flower girl in recent days. We began to look closer for other clues and found bits of ribbons and balloons and evidence of tulle having been taped to the stone backdrop. It was so much fun imagining the wedding that had taken place in the lovely outdoor spot. I gathered a handful of the petals and tucked them into my art box. They seemed the perfect embellishment for today's piece.
