i love creating and working with my hands. and, i love giving my handmade mixed media collages as gifts to family and friends. this time of year is especially satisfying to me as i am busy, busy, busy creating special things to give to each of the people on my holiday list. this one will go to my brother and his wife. i hope they like it!
they will love it! i know i do!

ReplyDeleteWhat great art.. I would love to be your relative this year..
ReplyDeleteFabulous collage, Julie! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteso thoughtful and painstaking, this is how a gift should be, from the heart and even better if obe gives it a personal touch like this. such gifts are always appreciated and cherished. i still have all the handmade cards i gathered down the years on my birthday, the rest somehow didnt seem all that special. :)
ReplyDeleteHow very special to make gifts from the heart. A fulfilling venture indeed. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteI love this, I wish I was this talented it would make gifting for school teachers much easier.

ReplyDeleteJulie, I love the way you captured all the texture on this piece. I don't think I've seen another picture of you work where the layering is so apparent. Your family is blessed to be the recipient of your talent.
