Creating During Isolation

BEFORE all of this self isolating stared, I bought several wood things at Hobby Lobby with the intention of creation things for classes.  In the meantime 2 of my April classes were canceled and I can only hope I can teach in May.  I don't want to get too backlogged.

Well anyway, I bought this cool metal wall hanging with wood on it and the following is what I created with Prima's Pretty Mosaic collection, a new Finnabair Stencil called Mind Games, and lots of mixed media goodness!  I hope you like it!
 It has many layers and I hope I can remember it all when it comes time to teach the class!


 Here's a close-up of the collage I made to act as the backdrop for my Mom's beautiful photo.  She was 15 here and looks like a movie star!  I put the word grateful nest to her image.


Here is a close-up of the light molding paste with the stencil and sprays and waxes and icing paste and Sparks paint and even stickles on top!  The text is an old Tim Holtz Christmas stamp that you can't read but I love the font!

Okay that's it for me today!
Thanks for stopping by!
