It all began with a Facebook post from Tina Walker
throwing an idea into cyber space of an
'Artist Collaboration'
I figured why not ??? why not indeed !!!
When the envelope arrived with the treasures inside I thought
Oh Heck what have I done !!!
After cogitating for quite a while
& procrastinated quite a while longer ..
Then!!! light bulb moment !!!
I envisioned
'CELESTIAL'
Gathering all the goodies together I started work
glued the larger piece of fabric onto a piece of board, sprayed a few more colours
stencilled with gesso, sprayed a bit more ..
rubbed 'inka gold' onto the cogs & veiwmaster disk
sprayed muslin skirt with green
rubbed 'inka gold' green onto resin pieces then tipped with gold
cut out angel wings & started putting my angel together.

butterfly, wings & cogs |

muslin, cotton fabric & twine |

resistors, brooch face & metal crown |
from my stash I found the brooch with beautiful face in silver,
rubbed with green & gold & a slight touch of pink on her cheeks,
adding cogs of bronze, gold & silver & gems of aqua,
bending & twisting the resistors &
tying knots into the twine over the skirt completed my playing.
When she was finished I felt she missing something
but what ???
Out in the garden shed found the answer
a frame I had painted many years before.
I washed off the accumulated dust rubbed in more gold
and framed her up
she was now totally complete.
Thank You to Tina for inspiring us to think outside the box
To Susan for showing us how to do the techy stuff
( which I sadly at first struggled with & then it clicked)
A HUGE thank you to our sponsors
There are 60 0ther takers on this collaboration
so many wonderful ideas with the same goodies
so take a look around ..
Happy Creating
