Collages

This one looks a little weird in the picture, but in person it is so neat. The bug in the center was a broken figurine and he is sitting on top of some roses that were left over from another project. All of the flowers around him are from a pillow that started making when I was a teenager. My mother was trying to teach me needlepoint or crewel I'm not sure which. Either way I was never going to finish the pillow and so I was thrilled to chop it up and use it on this collage. I got my husband to cut the sun out of wood for me and I made the butterflies out of a costume jewelry bracelet that had broken and multi-colored feathers.

This is a figurine that I bought some time ago and she didn't really fit in with the other witches in my collection. I like her much more now that I have given her a few changes, stuck her on a canvas and surrounded her with talisman from the Black Pullet.

The Marsh King's Daughter Stained Glass Mosaic

This is one of my favorites that I have made. I took my time with it and tried to add a lot of details. I spent a couple of weeks working on it, but all of the narrow lines in her outfit were really fun to do.

In the actual story of The Marsh King's Daughter there were storks bowing to her. When I got my husband to cut the board for this one I forgot to allow for them and so I just added butterflies instead. I personally prefer the butterflies because of the nice colors.
