Love to Craft Challenge Blog #46: Mixed Media Bird Tag

Hello crafty friends!   This is my post for Love to Craft Challenge Blog,  every month is Anything Goes.   We want to see what you have been crafting.


The image Birds Hair from artist Julia Spiri was color with my Prismacolor pencils.  I decided to make a mixed media tag.  Paint, scrap paper, tissue, sewing maching stitching, ink, gold & purple paint, cheese cloth:  just for the background.  After the sewing the stitches, I couldn't stand looking at the back of the tag, so I fixed it .


I did the same technique with a new tag to place over the back of the front tag, but without the stitching.  This little wooden bird has been sitting in my craft closet for awhile, some gesso paint, ink and gold paint to tie it into the project.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

I would like to enter this tag in the following challenges:



stamps: Julia Spiri: Birds Hair
paper: scraps
embellishments: paints, inks, embossing powder, cheesecloth, wooden bird,  the Paper Studios: flowers
