Mini Mixed Media

This was a little diversion

piece I made while taking

a break from a larger piece

I was working on. 

I've found for myself, it's good

for me to have a few things I'm working

on at once. 

This way my mind and brain 

is refreshed by something new,

without having to stop creating art

(which would be so sad). 

I finger painted the background of an ATC card. 

While that was drying, I drew my subject with 

colored pencils on a piece of Bristol paper. 

She was brushed with a light coating of matte

medium and then allowed to dry before

collaging her to the card. 

I added some designs with pitt pens and 

a few cross stitches with some bright DMC thread. 

I like her "milky' appearance, and it's kind of making

me want to go in the direction of a geisha. 

She almost has that look about her.
