Hi Everyone! This is my first real attempt at mixed media. I posted these first two pics sometime ago for Sunday Sketches.
I have never felt like this was complete the way it is here.
So today....
I bought some fabric leaves in different sizes and colors and a crystal butterfly at the local craft store and went crazy with my glue gun. I definitely like this piece better. I like the 3 dimensional feel to it too as the leaves and butterfly are raised off of the drawing itself.
I was never completely satisfied with this piece so this was a fun experiment. I really like how it turned out.
Thanks for all the inspiration. Every week I see what all of you mixed media artists produce and I am in awe.
Have a great week!

Wow Julia, she certainly is beautiful. I really like the way you pulled it all together with the leaves. The colors are all perfect & the butterfly....well that just makes this piece magical!! Well done!
I love those fabric leaves that you found. I need to find me some when I get a little extra cash! Hmm....my birthday is coming up!!! :D
Great job at your first shot of mixed media. I have yet to attempt that realm..might not be anytime soon. hahahaha :)

how wonderfully fun. I love what you did with this and that you were brave to try it. I am working on a piece now and I do something and then think oh no, then it grows on me and I change it and so it goes....I love watching you explore.
Oh yes, that really works. Perhaps add a real flower to the hair of your next Ms Zen. Great experimenting
