Collage Art

It may sound strange, but shopping at

Hallmark always puts me in a good mood.

I've been designing a little workspace for

myself and I saw this beautiful artwork by

Kelly Rae Roberts at my local Hallmark store.
It would look great on the wall above my table.

I fell in love with it, ALMOST bought it,

then wondered if I could use it as inspiration

to make something of my own.

Instead of buying a stretched canvas (like the original)

I found a wooden "Hawaii" plaque at the the thrift store

for $2. I almost primed it, but then I realized that I

could Mod Podge right over it. 

For the words, I changed the font on each letter

of the Faith, Trust, etc. message.

I also glued some sequins & beads on.

I glued lace on the fairy wing.

This is my version . . . 

I might try it again with fewer kinds of paper. 

Maybe it's too busy?

And, I still really love the one at the Hallmark store

Maybe I'll get one of those too!

I'll show you my work space IF I ever finish it! Ha ha.

Warmly, Michelle
