Series of Three Mixed Media Valentines

This was painted on 5x7 Canvas Panel.
What I like about Canvas Panel is that it is 100% recycled materials and Gesso primed for use with all mediums.
The picture of the baby is my granddaughter Audrey! How could you not love a pretty little face like that! She is blowing xxoo's. Love Is The Sweetest Thing is an actual music composition. By adding it to the pictures I thought it gave it a romantic feel. I actually used hot pink to give them a more modern look.

Just in time for Valentines Day!

In Somerset Life Jan/Feb 09 I was inspired by Victorian Cones (pg. 88).
I put a twist on it making them with a picture of cherub's, music and vintage lace.
There is nothing like adding a little glitter for sparkle!
And just in time for Valentines Day~
This is a simple project:(No pattern needed !) All that is needed is card stock paper, a little lace, copy of some sheet music, romantic picture, ribbon's, and some floral supplies and glue. Just shape the paper into a cone. Cut the top with any shapes or make the cone even. Then glue on your embellishments! You can always glue on a loop on the back to hang it from a hook.You may fill this with shredded paper, dried floral' s or candies on Valentines Day.
Then just place your Victorian cone on a mantle or any where that you need that little Victorian romantic touch~ This is a great project for all those little scraps of lace or ribbon you did n 't know what to do with.

Lovely Balerina

Here is a picture of a project that was inspired from a book by Sandra Evertson -Fanciful Paper Projects!
(Prima Ballerina pg.28) The projects are for personal use only! I highly recommend her projects for anyone starting out in paper projects to spark their creativity! The wire that she is hanging from is gold with crystals twisted in and I also painted her to make her my own. I wish the photograph showed that. They sparkle with any light on them it was worth twisting them in.
