Love life, Live life

I had a really fruitful weekend.. or rather "artful".

Firstly, I completed 2 altered art projects

and

one of them is shown here:

This is a gift for a colleague of mine,

the background is a crackled finish using Elmer's glue and acrylic paints.

A layer of glaze with titan buff was painted onto the crackled backgound

to give it a "frescoed" look  (just wondering if there's such a description :)) ).

Collage images from scrapbooking papers. 

I hope she''ll like it, I can't wait to present it to her tomorrow. ;)

Secondly,

I made a couple of tags ..

using scraps of papers, envelopes, postage stamps etc...

And

 I am all charged up for the coming week!

cheers!!
