Mixed Media Response
This piece took on a Valentine's theme and is a mixed media challenge response on stretched canvas. Elements include beading, leather, embossed metallic tape, ribbon, paint, alcohol inks, stamping, glitter and a variety of pen work. I had planned to do some machine sewing (couching) but ended up not being able to fit the canvas under the needle/presser foot to do so. So, the piece took off in a very different direction than originally envisioned. The beading design is based on an altered photo of a tree trunk. The writing is 'life with magic' (repeated).

Oh, this is so very interesting to study,Cay Denise! The dimension and textures are outstanding (pun intended). I love the colors, and everything about it! Lovely beading.

I really got a giggle about your eyes on the bottom! It sure looks like you had fun.
Indeed, a fun piece, from the googly eyes to bigger eye with its eyelashes to the various hearts. The beading creates a wonderful texture.
