Happy Holiday Weekend!

Hello All!

Happy Easter Weekend!

And you know what that means....Spring!!!

Which Oliver Howard enjoys

and it's the beginning of the 

Spring Shedding Season!

Let the games begin! GRIN

So with a long Holiday Weekend,

and around here, it's a lovely, quiet,

weekend to relax, I decided to dip my

toe into an assemblage project that's

been kicking around in my head for some time.

It's been a long time of taking a break from

doing any 3D mixed media arts, and it

felt so good to have a dabble.

My ode to Spring and to Nature 

and even channeling a 

bit of my love for 

museum collections.

I photographed the inside of this assemblage first,

as you'll see in the next photo's, once I put on

the protective acrylic sheet cover, it became

a pain to photograph! 

(Anyone who has any photography tricks for

photographing things like framed pictures with glass 

tricks, please share their tricks with me! )

GRIN

First off 

I started with a great masonite kit from

Retro Cafe Art Gallery

Basic Shadowbox Shrine Kit

With an assortment of 'finds',

pussy willow branches, woodpecker feather,

rare egg from a plastic bird....tee hee....

I used a Melissa Frances

Vintage Reproduction Resin Frame

that I used 

VerDay Paints and Finishes

to alter.

And used a Fabulous Graphic

of a Woodpecker 

from our own Local

Finchley Paper Arts.

Many fussy hours later.....

With some Tim Holtz Wheels,

And many details later....

using Fabulous left over Scrapbooking Papers,

ribbons....

And more vintage finds, of a Bakelite 1920's door knob, 

and some old florist bits a bobs,  later....

Walla! My Ode to Spring and Nature

This makes me want to 

make another one....grin

Luckily, I have a couple more kits!

So you never know what I might 

come up with next!

I've also been busy with

my Digital Arts play this month too ...

Using Wonderful Graphics from

Miles Beyond the Moon

at

Mischief Circus

And using my own Private Collection

of photo's of our local herd of Deer.

Another Ode to Spring

with my Dear  'Oh Deer Bubbie'

Our Darling Bubbie, our outdoor pet for 

many years, tends to crop up in my works

over the years, and Miles Beyond the Moons

graphics just suited this Spring's Muse perfectly.

And of course, had to have a dabble with the

Fabulous Ms. Marsha's Latest Kits

from

Tumble Fish Studio

and again channeling Spring...

So that is what I've pretty much been up too in

the being creative corner of life this month...

oh yes, and I finally found a spot for last

months wonderful project, ( check out last

months blog post).

She fit in beautifully in the art room, along with

all of my other precious Favourite Artists Works!

Well there you go....grin

Hope you're having a Fabulous Holiday Easter Weekend!

Keep busy, and hope you get some Art Time!!! 

Enjoy!!!
