This is my submission for the Inspiration Avenue creative challenge.
To be honest it's not actually finished, but as it was my turn to pick the challenge theme this week I thought I'd better make the effort and post what I've done so far!
The theme I chose was "faded", and my submission is based on the idea of faded memories. It's a little wooden shadow box which I have painted, and I've started to add some inks/collage/bits and pieces.
I do want to do some more work on this yet, but if it works out reasonably well I'd like to make a larger one, with some old photos and love letters maybe.
You can see all the submissions (and the rest of them are even finished I do believe!) here.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteTo me this is like an extension from your canvases with the tags- what an AMAZING next step- I can't wait to see this completed and the larger one you've planned- this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Angie...this is such a great idea...moving your art to a whole new level...I love it :)
ReplyDeleteYour art is always so layered and textured and this is like tiny vinettes of 3D. I hope you will reshare it when you are done fiddling with it ;-)

Thank you everyone, and I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteLuthien it's just a painted wooden box with papers, tiny scraps of fabric, little bottles and a paper flower!
Lisa I love the idea of "tiny vinettes" - you have such a great way with words!
'Faded' memories ... lovely title for a great challenge. Love how you build up the textures with currogated card and by using fabric. For a - not finished yet - it looks already wonderful :)
