I am so thrilled to offer you MY interpretation of challenge #8: Frame and Fill, as one of the THREE (yes, three!!) Guest Designers for January!

mment below, and to visit our blogs as well (links are in the sidebar.) The challenge is kept brief to allow room for you to interpret it creatively.

Here it is Challenge #8:
Challenge 8 – Frame & Fill (frame - good size, found, repurposed, purchased, wood, or metal, etc… fill – image, artwork, copy-right free image, or collage, etc...)

•Theme – Birds (real, fantasy, feathers, eggs, nests, or trees, etc…)
•Required material – Glass (marbles, sea glass, microscope slides, altered frame glass, broken mirror or glass tesserae, etc…)

In my interpretaion I created a wintry canvas with acrylics, Prima paintables, Harlee Quinnz Designs patterned papers, mirror pieces and beeswax. I created my antiqued frame by glazing a used frame with a handmade glaze of acrylic extender and Ranger Vintage Photo Reinker. I added branches, leaves, flowers, snow and ice (in the form of Ranger Glossy Accents, White Glitter and White Pearl Fabric Paint) and a bird with handcrafted feathered wings and tail holding a vintage chandalier crystal. My theme: Awakwening (as in Come On Spring!).
