What a perfect art challenge for when I'm insanely busy yet still desperate to create!
Melange: noun, assortment, conglomeration, gallimaufy , hodgepodge, jumble, medley, miscellany, mishmash, mixed bag, mixture, olio, pasticcio, pastiche, patchwork, potpourri, salmagundi, variety.
The theme at Inspiration Avenue this week.
This took me 10 minutes including the rummaging around in my stash for collage materials. Never throw any scrap away I say! All sits on a canvas board, various papers and fibres sculpted with a bit of gesso. I love creating :)
The little gecko is scampering through the litter and glitter - see his sparkling scales catch the sunlight!

love the color palette!
ReplyDeleteFabUlous! I love all the texture in this- I've been wanting to do an altered cookbook book with pockets to hold all the recipes I've collected over the years, and this is exactly the layered combo of collage and original work I'm going for!
ReplyDeleteThat's the prettiest gecko I've ever seen. Wonderful pastiche!
