IAE Creative Challenge - Finder's Keepers

I have cheated slightly with the IAE challenge this week - I didn't have time to make anything new, but I really wanted to submit something as I'd picked the theme this time.



So I hope you'll excuse me submitting this canvas even though I created it a while ago. It's called "Every Day Stories". 

I've used acrylic paints, luggage tags and various found objects - amongst them are buttons,  a paper clip, a jigsaw piece and a heart charm. 

I am fascinated by found objects - sometimes they seem imprinted with their very own history and secrets and memories. Or maybe I just like to imagine stories for them!

You can see all the wonderful submissions for this week's challenge later today by clicking here.

    This is the ULTIMATE piece to submit for the found object challenge. Every tag is gorgeous, stained and aged to perfection, and filled with memories of things found along life's journey. It is gorgeous.

    Thank you beyond belief for adding my entry, although it was late. I really appreciate it.
