A Little Green...



This was a fun little piece, using two things I haven't used alot...copper mesh and a tiny canvas. I used Bo Nash powdered adhesive to add gold foil and added the word "love" to the left of the canvas. I had two little pieces of beaded home decorating trim from a vendor's outdated book. I love that I could use a throw-away item in my art! Check out this month's Quilting Arts magazine, they have an article on green art!

With Kindness,

Thank you so much for voting, Kim!!! I appreciate your vote and sweet words, too. I love this piece. What a great idea to use the beaded trim. I love all the different trims like this. It adds a lot of dimension to your piece, too. Do you shop at Hobby Lobby, by chance? They have a fantastic selection and great sales, too!! Thank you again, xxoo, Dawn
