A simple 3D encaustic piece. I collaged the images of the circus family in the background. Then I added black and white encaustic paints, tissue paper dots, thread, and the little horse. Colorful and fun, I want to make more like this.

a wonderful find!
we had a nice day off to
browse thrift shops and do some shopping. in a little video game/music shop, Media Rerun, we found these! they are guitars and basses made from found objects like cans, cigar boxes, license plates and first aide boxes. and they still have a nice sound.such a wonderful find, i thought i should share. :)

altered spoon necklace
altered spoons were one of the first things i found when i started
getting into altered art. i loved the thought of using cutlery as a canvas, but i didn't know what to do with them when they were done. until now! this spoon is my first finished altered cutlery project that i made into a necklace pendant.
basically, i bent the spoon to a good size and painted it gold, blue and green. i used paint remover in places to give the finish a worn vintage feel. the
n i went through a billion ideas about what to put in the center. i started with a picture of a 1920s woman, didn't like it. so then i tried various clock parts and steampunk pieces assembled in the middle, didn't like it. finally i decided to use a dragonfly picture with a button and a ribbon. simple, right?
then i added the pearls around the edge, a green ribbon to the neck?, and made a pearl rope to hang it on. which absolutely took
forever. but it was worth it. finally, i filled the spoon with a media mixer and let it dry. now the surface is smooth and hard. i'm really happy with how this piece turned out and i love the classic vintage feel it has, so elegant.
