Mixed Media Monday--"Something Borrowed"






Hi Everyone-

I couldn’t wait to use this image from Mind Wide Open--and this new challenge was my opportunity. The piece is hanging from a wire hanger (also from Mind Wide Open) and I was so excited to use it in my art.

This was also the first time that I have incorporated the use of paper with fabric...I like to work with batik as the colors are so rich. In addition to attaching it to the canvas, I also cut it in strips and used it along with other fibers and soy silk attached to the hanger itself. Beading with miniature coins were used as a trim to complete the piece. Also includes commercial graphics and embellishments.

I have been seeing hangers used to display several pieces, so I have “borrowed” the idea for this challenge.
