Hope your Sunday is restful and relaxing! I'm excited to show you a gorgeous art piece today, made by Hels Sheridan! I met Hels at Ranger U. and was lucky to sit next to her - with each technique we learned while we were there, her "practice pieces" astounded me! Plus, she has a wonderful sense of humor : )
Without further adieu, here it is:
Here are the supplies she used:
"I used the Spool and smallest flower from the Art Part Sample pack, Distress Inks [Crushed Olive, Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Forest Moss, Barn Door] and Stains in Crushed Olive, Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Forest Moss, Barn Door. Archivals in Olive, Sepia and Jet Black. Studio 490 stamps, Alterations Movers & Shapers: Tattered Leaves, Branch and added in some Idea-ology Memo Pins with Glossy Accent middles. The little mice and pumpkins are made from modelling clay and distressed with Dabbers."
                     |
Wouldn't this look beautiful as a Thanksgiving centerpiece? Or maybe a mantle or shelf decoration!
