Skinny - Mixed Media Monday

At MMM this month we're supposed to create a piece of artwork in a size that is outside our comfort zone. I decided to give skinnies a try. Because they're larger than ATCs, 3x5s rectangles have always seemed to difficult to be totally "filled in" with art in a harmonic way. Well, maybe it wasn't a question of size, but a question of lack of creativity and some laziness on my part. Anyway, I used a large stamp, which had been waiting for "employment" for ages due to its size and all in all I was quite happy with the way the skinny turned out.

Nestlé lid shrine

"Shrines" is this month's theme at Mixed Media Monday. Here's my very first shrine:

Is this what a shrine is supposed to be? Tell me what you think...

This shrine turned out quite different from what I had in mind at least as far as the colours are concerned. Due to the excessive amount of pink (at least to my taste) it is a tad childish and therefore only suitable for a child's room. I should have attached to it something to hang it from, but I got too lazy after realizing I'll never hang it in my own bedroom... after all, I'm 36.

Back of the shrine(The text on the back of the lid is from a Portuguese tale with animals, perhaps it's a fable.)

How it all began...

Buttons - TMTA

This week's theme at TMTA is buttons. 

Thanks for looking!

Bliss!

A few weeks ago the theme at Dans ma Maison... was "white". (It's impossible to think of white and not to think of brides.) I started this project, but I unfortunately I didn't finish it on time to enter the challenge. I put it away but now "lace" is the theme at Wednesday Stamper and "hearts" is the theme at Created by hand. So I've combined both challenges. Thanks for looking!
