Another 10 x 10 canvas. I keep painting over older designs and I can't remember what this used to be? Anyway, I've used molding paste to give it texture and also hide a little of what was underneath before. I've used antique handwritten school paper for the wings, a bird from a wine label, a button and some fabric.
Sides are painted black

I was able to get a lot done yesterday! I cleaned up all the crab apples in my yard and there are still about 100 on the tree that will fall as it gets colder, but I can keep up with them now. I bet I've raked, shoveled and hauled away almost a million so far :)
I think today I'm going to putz a little more in the yard, freeze some wintersquash and maybe even bake a little something. I love the coziness of fall, don't you?
I hope you can all do something today that makes you smile :)

Very beautiful Darla you would never know it started as something else.
Don't forget to keep some crab apples around your house to keep out the spiders and bugs.

It is so amazing how much of a beautiful artist you have become since we took the willowing class together. And what really impresses me is that you are so driven to create with few blocks. I could really see your designs on coffee cups and notecards and such. Go girl!!!! You are headed in the direction of true joy in your life.
Awesome piece! :) Love the caged bird and the tree.
Your girls have been so wonderful! Love them all..they look so serene and peaceful..and so feminine. Love them all!
Love this one Darla!! And the texture is great! I love fall too! And she has all the pretty fall colors!
I see that we are both taking the free class with Tam! I am excited to get started! See you there! :)
Your paintings that you've been posting are all so beautiful. I love this birdcage dress!!
P.S. and mmmmmm-squash--I love it--my favorite is butternut!
