Yes, this is actually my desk! I was in the midst of making the ACT’s Early Saturday morning when noticed how messy my desk had gotten. As
I was reaching to begin putting things away I thought, “I gotta get a
picture of this for Wednesday!”

| "Autumn Magic" mixed media collage |
I want to share this fall collage I made. I am very proud of it and it is the first one
I've created for someone other than myself.
The swap was to share a fall photo and poem, medium and presentation
were up to us. I used 9” x 12” water
color paper as a base so it is rather large. The tree and butterfly are from a fall paper napkin and the photo is one I took last year which I still love. I had a hard time mailing this off, wanted to keep it for myself!

| Private Swap: Makeup for ATC's of ABC's - J is for Joy |
I used my partner’s favorite colors to create ATC.

| It's a Rainbow! - gold |
Nearing the end of this yearlong series. Gold had to be used as the background or use
any color we liked and use gold accents.
I have very little gold items so I used gold glitter scrapbook paper for
the background. I painted the scroll
paper with metallic green acrylic paint to add some dimension then added the
butterfly which I cut out from the same paper napkin in the collage.
It seemed 'flat' so I hand colored it in with Sakura Stardust pens which gave it some sparkle.

Your mixed media collage looks stunning! I can understand that it was hard to part with it! Why don't you recreate something similar on a canvas? Then you can put it on your wall! I think you totally should! Have a crafty week! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #42
