Mixed Media Monday,Tell a Story



The day was dragging on and Jeanine and Margo were sleeping the day away. As they dreamily sat on the sofa, Jeanine thought, I am going on a journey. She encouraged Margo to grab a favorite toy and suit up for travel. Margo grabbed her running woman ball and Jeanine grabbed the fortune teller for added assistance on their journey. Margo donned her flight cap and goggles and Jeanine put on her silver headlamp. Where should we go asked Margo. Jeanine thought for a minute and begins rubbing her fortune tellers head. Oh mystic mine where shall we go on our travel through time. The fortune teller replies, set the time to Tuesday, put on your wings, wind the wheel and take flight. Don't worry about the destination, just Go ahead and Play. So Jeanine and Margo spread their wings, set their sights on Tuesday and blast off for fun. Go ahead join them, Play.

Mixed Media Monday, Numbers

This weeks theme for the mixed media mondays challenge was numbers. I thought of the game I used to play as a kid...hopscotch. Here is my entry titles, "Let's Play". This is done on a 5x7 canvas covered panel. Vintage ephemera including sheet music has been added. The photo is a vintage 1970s photo of neighborhood children. Acrylic paint,fabric paint, embossing powder add dimension to the piece. Finished off with some vintage bingo pieces, and hearts for the hopscotch pebbles showing how much I loved hopscotch. Hope you enjoy.
