DOWN on the FARM

This was last month's Mixed Media swap, altho' I used mainly paper.

It measure 3 inches x 11/2 inches and is ,obviously, an accordian book.

Both Bevlea and I played a part in making this...she found some of the images and printed them out and I placed them onto the backgounds.

The "reins" on the stubborn mule on the front allows the book to be tied closed...unfortunately I don't have a pic of that tho'.

These pics were taken before I added my signature to it...a black crow flying above the ducks...maybe the recipient of the book will send me an image of it if I ask nicely...vbg.

POST SCRIPT:
Debbie has sent me a pic of the crow on the page...and it has a mind of it's own as to where it wants to be positioned  here on this page so I apologise for it being out of order.

RUSTY "STEAM-PUNK"

September's ATC Theme is RUST so I used some of my rusted paper as the back ground for this little Punk style courier of love.


He has rusted metal Dragonfly wings on his back and on the rusted cog wheels, and a rusted tin heart to carry.
 
He also has a wee rusty (cog) monacle to cheekily peek out thru'.

QUEEN BEE

This is August's bulk swap ATC. The theme was Bees.

I compiled the image in Photoshop and added eyes cut from a magazine. It is on a painted watercolour paper background, stamped, using Brilliance Copper ink to represent honeycomb.

Her wings have a thin coat of Stickles and her crown and ear-ring have red Kindy Glitz dots. Her back wing is 3D raised on mount tape.

There were not as many in the swap as expected so I have three of these available to trade if anyone is interested.
