Nichos

I want to thank Mixed Media Monday for their theme this week "past loves" to awaken us to do some art that we haven't done for a while; something we love to do but get sidetracked . So I set off to my art room (gave Photoshop a rest) and was going to do some journal pages but saw a wonderful tin nichos laying on my table that needed altering and embellishing. What fun! I think I will try some journal work too as I have a few days to myself!

    What an awesome way to give Photoshop a rest. You found the perfect image and embellishmenst for this tin nichos. It is stunning, and I bet even more so in real life, since metal is usually so hard to photograph.

    This is just stunning! Isn't it funny how much we collect in hopes for something to inspire us? I have some things that are waiting for years to be made into something special! I love what you have done here - it is so elegant and regal! Kristin xo
