♥ Pony Tail Princess ♥
With layers and layers and layers of paints, tissues, glitters, flowers, leaves, and more paint, and more glitter and more love I finally completed this pony tail princess. I used a lot of “finger-style” painting for the background. I love the way the colors bleed into each other when you use a few drops of water on them. I then layered some decorative paper napkins in orange and pink torn into tiny pieces. Next comes some glitter, and some more glitter, and some more glitter! I added vellum flowers and leaves, collaged her dress on, added some liquid appliqué for her collar, gave her a heart pendant for her jewelry and topped this off with some glitzy gel pens smudged into her hair and bedazzled her with a few rhinestones. The leaves in her hair are a special treat I get from my mom… they are from tea bags…Tea Forte Mom saves all the pretty leaves for me and I add them to my art. Seriously with mixed media art, there is nothing you cannot use! Use your imagination. Play outside the box! Today I’m off to buy some mouse traps. We’ve had a mouse in our house and last night confirmed that for me. That lil disease spreading sucker kept me awake half the night. I finally got “girly” enough and ran in bed with my husband (I was sleeping on the couch.) This morning I’ve found plenty of evidence so I’m pretty sure I’ll need a plethora of traps and all the neighborhood cats! Not to mention more cleaning supplies to clean up after the messy monger. Also, it dawned on me earlier this week that I totally forgot Tammy’s Toys this week, so I’m presenting it today… and is it ever appropriate! Meet my mouse “muppet!” I’ve had this guy for “years!” It was something my mom gave me that she bought at a craft faire. This is only kind of mouse I want in my house. Not one that can climb onto my counters and make deposits!
