This is what happens when I go to clean my studio--I get side-tracked--I get inspired--which is a good thing.
I have lots of gallery canvases, and when reversed, make great shadowboxes--
the house I found when cleaning--it fit perfectly into the 6 x 12 canvas. I covered it with scrapbook paper as well as the canvas. And then added the wonderful rusty hardware from my 'collection'--
the birds I found on Etsy--they're wood cut-outs that I covered with the scrapbook paper again. It's fun making these--and the best way is when you're 'picking' up and sorting--you have all of this inspiration in a big pile in front of you : )
So keeping the bird and home theme in mind, I have to admit, I stopped cleaning and started gathering items to keep going--
a mix of old and new embellishments, with the help of Tim Holtz embellishments
......and an altered box--
more fun with the new and the old--
I love giving a new life to these items that had a former life, and sometimes have been forgotten. I'll find them searching through piles at a flea market or garage sale, where they possibly would have ended up in the trash.
This is such a fun way to make art--think twice before you discard those unwanted items : )
